Peer Facilitated Learning – tapping the untapped wisdom of your colleagues

“Discussing work issues and sharing ideas happens all the time. The real challenge is to make these discussions productive.”

Peer Facilitated Learning is a group learning process that will take you beyond chat. It is a highly effective and structured process that has been developed over the past 20 years and used effectively with management teams, in emerging areas of practice, multidisciplinary settings where people have a shared interest and with peers from the same profession or area of work. The strength of PFL is that members of the peer group meeting on a regular basis and following a structured process are able to draw on the wisdom of colleagues and at the same time develop their skills as presenters, facilitators and peer consultants.
