It seems like we all learn better in groups. In school, from kindergarten to graduate school, you worked on projects in teams or groups. You always seemed to learn more from your peers than when you listened to an instructor droning on about a particular subject.
What we all learn talking with and listening to our peers can provide amazing insights. And if these peer groups meet regularly we can really leverage our business strengths. Conducting ongoing conversations with our peer

If you are the owner, successor, or manager of a business you know that what you're doing is rewarding. However it can also be an overwhelming and often isolating experience.
This is particularly true in small to mid-size businesses: Owners can become more and more isolated with every new challenge, lacking an impartial and confidential place to frankly discuss the issues and concerns of his or her company.

From my experience as a group member and facilitator, once we meet face to face, I believe it changes the dynamic of the group. Groups always seem to work together very effectively without ever having met, but after when the members are able to meet, the level of effectiveness increased considerably.

I've taken part in thousands of conference calls and people phrase things differently, they couch their thoughts in cogent sentences before they open their mouths, they're reluctant to cut each other off if they have a burst of an idea, and every time you hear a noise in the background, you're wondering which member of the conference isn't fully engaged. There's a trust issue there.

en crucial in my experience: Commitment. Commitment to the group and the process is an absolute requirement if the peer group is to succeed. The members must be regularly willing to give of their time and their business acumen. If there is a facilitator, group members must also be committed to the ongoing investment of their money until they are ready to take over the group's management themselves.

The benefit of having specific content is that it keeps focus and prevents the process from becoming just a gab session amongst business people. A principle value of the group process is that it helps each person ideas and solutions (or potential challenges) that are not apparent to them or that they may not have experienced themselves. A peer group helps people learn from the mistakes of others for a greater likelihood of success.
