Peer Mentoring: Teach Others What You Know.
A Practical Approach to Knowledge Transfer
May 7, 2008
8:30 am - 4:00 pm
Doubletree Hotel Denver North
Westminster, Colorado
Nearly 80 percent of what employees learn is gleaned from the coworker next to them. Are your employees prepared to teach what they know?
Peer Mentoring is a tools-based approach to communication and knowledge transfer. Peer Mentoring helps employees at all levels deliver effective on-the-job training, and delivers powerful results for managing remote locations, integrating acquired companies and improving cross-department communication.
Peer Mentoring is used around the world, from retail companies to government organizations to large mining operations. Originally developed for Microsoft, Peer Mentoring has helped thousands of people and teams cross-train, transfer knowledge and bring new staff up to speed - quickly and efficiently. The workshop uses plain language and practical tools that can be put to work right away.
Peer Mentoring is perfect for:
- Orienting new hires and cross-training team members
- Transitioning an aging and retiring workforce
- Launching a new product, service or initiative
- Teaching critical information, such as safety
- Developing competence and independence
- Encouraging cross-group communication
- Managing remote offices and service centers
- Integrating operations after a merger or acquisition
This One-Day Workshop Covers:
- Roles in Peer Mentoring: Who is responsible for what?
- Managing Communication: How do I stay in touch and still get my own job done?
- Focusing on the Most Important Information: Where do I start?
- Telling What You Know: How much should I cover?
- Leveraging Learning Styles: What if we aren't on the same page?
- Assessing Knowledge Transfer: How do I know if they are learning anything?
- Giving and Getting Feedback: When and how should I say what I am thinking?
- Developing an Action Plan: What am I going to do with what I've learned?
Peer Mentoring gets results. Research conducted with participants before, immediately after, and again two months after the workshop shows a significant impact on reported behaviors and a sustained impact with behavior changes remaining strong over time.
