XLeap is more effective than other meeting tools because it aims much higher and builds on years of research.
Popular online meeting tools such as conferencing, whiteboards, or mind maps aim to enable meetings at a distance by closely emulating traditional meetings. With these tools, groups can meet, talk, present, and draw almost as if they were meeting in one place, which of course has tremendous benefits. And, staying close to something familiar contributes to the popularity of these tools.
However, leveraging technology primarily to emulate traditional meetings as closely as possible comes at a price. By staying close to the original, these online tools not only replicate the flaws of traditional meetings but cement the perception that nothing can be done about them, even when using technology. Consequently, groups and their facilitators continue to wrestle with the same old frictions that have been plaguing meetings forever.
