Peer Networks programme: Learn, share and grow
There’s never been a more important time to invest in the future of your business. The Peer Networks programme allows you to do this by working with people who know business best – other business leaders.
How can Peer Networks benefit you?
Peer Networks enables you to make connections that go far beyond networking. With increased challenges facing businesses, it’s an important time to prepare your business for the future. Join like-minded businesses to find practical solutions to the challenges you’re facing.
- Learn from like-minded businesses: Find solutions to the real issues your business is facing by working with other local business leaders facing similar challenges.
- All it takes is your time: Peer Networks is a completely free programme, all it takes is a few hours of your time each month. You can join virtual sessions from the comfort of your home or office.
- Real results: Activities take place in structured, small-group sessions, led by a skilled professional facilitator to make sure you see real results in return for the investment of your time. You will also benefit from access to 1:1 mentoring, coaching or advice depending on the support you need.
- Non-competitive solutions: Peer Networks brings together business leaders working collaboratively to find solutions to common problems. You will not be placed in a group with any competitors, so you can share your expertise and benefit from others.
How it works
Our professional facilitators will support you and your small cohort of fellow business leaders as you work together on important challenges, and the topics to be discussed, and come up with tangible solutions in a collaborative, non-competitive environment.
You can also access 1:1 support matched to your specific needs to help you build on your learning experience.
