 PEER ASSIST |
| Knowledge management technique that is based on the assumption that for any given activity, someone else has done something that is at least broadly similar. According to this premise, a team or group needs to identify the right group of people, and then uses a systematic method to benefit from their insights/experience. If conducted effectively, peer assists can promote learning, and be used to strengthen mutual learning between people and groups within an organization. [1] |
