Then along came conference calling. We began talking to regional managers who spent each Monday on the phone calling their people one at a time to deliver information, repeat policy and deliver action items. Conferencing changed all of that. Instead of just being able to deliver a one-way informational message, dispersed organizations were able to get their people on a call once a week.
