Our peer advisory group members are like-minded individuals, selected and invited to join with others from our client network to collaborate in a common purpose.
The members are independent of each other, their diversity creates a significant resource within a culture of trust, confidentiality and collaboration.
Each group is a forum for the members’ personal and business growth, inspiring learning, innovation and development across the membership.
Who are the members of a peer advisory group?
Our Big Blue Box CEO Peer advisory groups bring together CEOs, MDs, business owners and senior leaders. Members may already have been coaching clients. The group membership offers them access to a collaborative team of others, extending their network and creating an independent board-like team. This enhances their ongoing personal, professional and business development.
Another specialist, professional-focus peer advisory group invites other coaches and mentors to meet regularly to collaborate on their collective and individual personal, professional and business development. This group's structure also provides coaching and mentoring supervision to its members.
Another peer advisory group structure brings together the high potential talent from diverse client organisations onto a powerful and energetic support and career development forum.
How does a peer advisory group work?
The power of the peer group is that Individuals bring their diverse thinking and experience to the group, in a collaborative spirit of learning and trust. This helps to create a network and perspective outside their existing industry.
Some groups meet in person on a regular monthly basis, other groups prefer to meet virtually and some meet virtually quarterly.
The CEO peer advisory group performs like the ideal board-level team of non-executive directors for each other and their businesses. The group helps members to make better decisions and hold each other to account for decisions and actions agreed in their meetings. The team notices the lack of politics and trust that impairs many leadership teams.
The Coaching peer advisory group collaborates to share skills, resolve issues and advise each other on coaching dilemmas, tools and techniques.
Group members also have regular ‘one to ones’ with the group Chair to assist with the implementation of actions, individual learning and the preparation of items for the group’s collaboration and problem resolution.
