The Power of Peers in Your Organization

When:
Thursday, June 18th, 2020
2:30 PM - 4:00 PM

Overview:

We will showcase how to tap into the latent powers and tacit knowledge of managers and supervisors through in-company peer learning groups. Peer groups can be implemented throughout the organization regardless of the size and organizational form, and can be applied as face-to-face and virtual meetings.

The workshop will showcase how self-directed groups work, develop professional competencies and increase awareness of self and others. As such, peer learning groups are open and intimate “safe places” where members can discuss professional and personal challenges that they do not feel they can raise elsewhere. This new approach to professional development is gaining traction in many organizations and its value is increasingly supported by research (see for example, “Peer Coaching at Work: Principles and Practices” by Polly Parker, Douglas T. Hall, Kathy E. Kram, and Ilene C. Wasserman (2019) and several articles in the HBR.
