I see tons of posts on here about how travel will not got back to normal and I completely disagree. Leading workshops in person with a white board, easily answering questions from different departments with little coordination (since your onsite don’t always need to plan a meeting), observing workflows in person to understand current state can not and is not getting replaced by zoom. I would say the effective rate is at 80/90% but the cost of travel is well worth the extra 10-20%.

Sometimes yes. It ll be fluid. I think it’s great to always have the option of NOT traveling for every small little thing. But yes for a workshop - it’s good to be in person .

I think it depends - I've actually found we're able to get more done faster through zoom with our client, and don't have to restrict it to whoever can be there in person in the same time zone.

We actually had an incredibly successful 3 day workshop with 30+ clients across an industry that, had it been in person, would have probably been less effective.

As long as folks realize there's some cases where it works better in person and some cases where it works better virtually, I think we'll end up with a happier overall balance that gets the most value out of our time.
