Self-Directed Peer Learning Groups

Peer learning groups are an innovative alternative to traditional professional development options for managers. They allow managers to:

  • share their knowledge and experience,
  • learn and practice new skills,
  • create company-relevant new knowledge, and
  • support and motivate each to better performance.

And they don’t have to leave the worksite to do that.

The 2019 Learning in the Workplace Survey indicates that daily work experience and knowledge sharing are the most useful ways that managers learn on the job. The peer learning group model combines learning and working into a seamless activity that creates a learning culture and boosts productivity.

The Workshop Purpose

The purpose of the workshop is to promote the use of onsite, self-directed and self-managed peer learning groups for managers. They result in collaborative and competent leadership teams at all levels in the organization. Therefore, there is a resulting positive impact on workplace performance and productivity.

Five sessions enable participants to experience the peer learning group process itself. In addition, participants will learn:

  • about the Peer Learning Group Model,
  • the secrets to a successful peer learning group program,
  • how to create psychological safety in groups, and
  • how to set up and manage a peer learning group program.
  • Participants will leave the program with the knowledge and skill to set up and implement a peer learning group program in their organizations.

May your learning be sweet-and safe.

Deborah
