3D imaging could vastly improve virtual meetings and presentations by making them “immersive.”
Bovee & Thill's Online Business Communication Magazines's curator insight,

"3D imaging could vastly improve virtual meetings and presentations by making them “immersive.” Applications that use depth-sensing technology can extract individuals from their surroundings and “place” them into 3D virtual meetings with their colleagues, or even into a virtual “space” with data objects—documents, presentations or what-have-you—they can manipulate and display. It’s basically the same thing you’d do with a digital-effects green screen, only without the green screen.
"Immersive meetings will let business types interact more directly with their customers or colleagues and to present data, images and video more the way they might in a face-to-face meeting—only with way more flair. This sort of immersion will become a core capability for all online collaboration."

"At the start of my teaching career, when I was fresh out of graduate school, I briefly considered trying to pass myself off as a cool professor. Luckily, I soon came to my senses and embraced my true identity as a young fogey.
"After one too many students called me by my first name and sent me email that resembled a drunken late-night Facebook post, I took a very fogeyish step. I began attaching a page on etiquette to every syllabus: basic rules for how to address teachers and write polite, grammatically correct emails." . . .

Are you going to adopt a modern “Essentials” textbook with extensive integration of mobile communication in every chapter, or are you going to saddle your students with a commonly adopted “Essentials” text that is stuck in the last decade?
Bovee & Thill's Online Business Communication Magazines's insight:
Because of complacency and a lack of knowledge about the topic, most business communication textbook authors are ignoring the mobile revolution. In fact, they’re pretending that it doesn’t even exist. In light of these facts, are your students being served well? There is one team that’s always on the cutting edge: Bovee and Thill. The fact they are the only business communication textbook authors currently writing about mobile tells you everything you need to know about which author team conscientiously revises its books and keeps them current. (Bovee and Thill were also the first authors to discuss social media and digital communication in their texts.) Adopt the only modern "Essentials" text: Business Communications Essentials by Bovee and Thill. See how your text compares to Business Communication Essentials with this interactive checklist.

More men are thinkers rather than feelers, and more women are feelers rather than thinkers. Little wonder when it comes to communication in the workplace, men and women often have difficulty in effectively communicating, and those of the same sex with opposite preferences, also experience the same problem.
Until thinkers and feelers recognise their differences, and learn to effectively communicate with each other, communication in the workplace will always be full of pitfalls, for all involved.
This excellent article, offers three tips each for thinkers and feelers, to help each to improve the outcome of their communications with the other. . . Via claire butterworth, Daniel Watson

Communication is an integral part of any work or life situation. Learning to be an effective communicator is a valuable productivity tool, one that is unfortunately commonly overlooked. The consequences of poor communication can be disastrous; wasted time, hurt feelings, misunderstandings, unproductive meetings, ineffective teamwork, and lack of progress towards goals. In order to be successful communicators we need to keep in mind some basic guidelines that are applicable in most instances of work, social or home environments. . .

If you hear these arguments, you're arguing with a fool.
Bovee & Thill's Online Business Communication Magazines's insight:
"There are a lot of ways that people make terrible and invalid arguments. "Making a good argument is about using logic to prove a conclusion based on some given facts. In a valid argument, the conclusion actually does follow from the facts. "Unfortunately, this can go wrong in many ways. Facts don't always support conclusions in the way an argument's author thinks they do." . . .

Customer complaints are inevitable. If you run a business that sells to the public no matter how great your goods or services are the old adage will eventually be proven true: You cannot please 100% of the people 100% of the time. Most customer concerns can be dealt with simply by complying with the person’s reasonable requests. From time-to-time, however, you will come across those customers who will demand something that simply is unwarranted or impossible to deliver. No matter the issue at the heart of the complaint it is important to remember these rules when resolving your customer service issues: . . .
