PA Challenges

How do you…

Overcome geographical constraints in an immediate and flexible manner?

Find an easier way to schedule and change at short notice multiple meetings in a day?

Enable your manager to get their team to focus on the issues together in real-time?

Audio – flexible to PAs’ needs

Your own personal meeting room

• Weekly team meetings• Impromptu meetings• Project & status meetings• Management updates

Larger scale more formal meetings

• Communicating and interacting with large numbers of people• Organisation change• Financial announcements• Training sessions

Web Conferencing – Engage with your audience

• Share, amend or present anything from your desktop

• Scalable from 2 to 2,500 people

• Real-time

• Instant feedback

All you need is a PC with internet connection – launch from Outlook

Face-to-face without physically being there

Video Conferencing

• When only a face-to-face meeting will do

• Meeting new colleagues or customers or suppliers

• More personalised meetings around the globe

• Large events or conferences where you can have video streaming to allow people to watch the event when they can’t physically attend

Key benefits of Conferencing for PAs

• Easy to get colleagues together around the world and country or company

• Easier to change and arrange multiple meetings in a day than if you were physically constrained by amending flights / trains / hotels bookings

• Enables your manager to have their virtual team focus on the same issue at the same time

• Dedicated event and account managers to take the organisational pressure away from you

• More cost efficient as no venue and travel costs – budget focus

• Green focus – reducing carbon emissions
