My name is Marley Kelso and I am a student at Northern Arizona University. I am heading into my junior year and I am studying accounting. The purpose of my wall is to explain how Skype and LinkedIn can be used efficiently and effectively for virtual communication for Waking Up Inc.

Waking Up Inc. is trying to find a way to streamline their group communication. They have been having issues with face-to-face meetings that slow down communication. Waking Up Inc. must communicate information with each other in order for their daily operations to run smoothly. Using virtual communication comes with a myriad of issues and finding the right form of it will ease the transition. The right sites for virtual communication need to be used for this to work.

In order for a virtual meeting place to work it must provide an ease of communication with professionalism. Virtual communication can cause difficulty and misunderstanding between users. This in turn can lead to tension in conflict. It is necessary to have a source of virtual communication that can provide as little chance for misunderstanding as possible. The sites used for virtual communication should be professional and allow for the employees of Waking Up Inc. to accomplish their goals in their weekly meetings.

The two sites best suited for Waking Up Inc. are Skype and LinkedIn. Skype allows for an ease of communication that mimics face-to-face communication. Instead of setting up a specific meeting place and time, Skype allows for the meetings to be held at a specific time but each person can participate from the privacy of their office. As for LinkedIn, this is a professional networking site used specifically for business. This would be best for quick communication between Waking Up Inc. coworkers. This could allow for meeting times on Skype to be determined and for agenda items for the meeting to be thoroughly planned out. Using this networking site could help the meeting stay on track by developing item agendas before the meeting and being able to refer back to them.

To test and implement these solutions to Waking Up Inc.'s problem, a trial run needs to be set up. For a few weeks, LinkedIn and Skype need to be used exclusively for communication. All meetings need to be done through Skype and LinkedIn needs to be used to determine the meeting agenda, send quick messages to members of the Waking Up Inc.'s team, and to determine the meeting time for Skype. After a few weeks, these solutions will be re-evaluated to determine their effectiveness. If these sites did not provide the results that Waking Up Inc. was looking for then new solutions need to be presented.
