Peer Advisory Groups ~ Kelly Scott, Vistage Florida



Peer Advisory Groups

From billion dollar corporations to small local businesses, associates and owners can benefit from the collaboration of professional peer advisory groups. Peer advisory groups allow professionals to connect with other entrepreneurs from different industry backgrounds to share alternative ideas and solutions to challenges and opportunities. The purpose of a peer advisory group is to cultivate the wisdom and imagination among the group, creating a mixture of routes to making better decisions.
Teamwork among a peer advisory group allows members to grow their circle of contacts from a diverse pool of industries and organizations. Not only do members usually see an increase in annual revenues while lowering overhead costs but, this teamwork creates a problem solving and an opportunity atmosphere that builds more effective leaders.
One of the most valued assets in a peer advisory group is the trusting relationships built among its members. In the groups, individuals count on each other’s integrity to keep secure data and solutions confidential. Building trust in the decision making process requires the group to be open, professional, unbiased and attentive to the needs and concerns of all parties participating. 
Peer advisory groups are a way for startup entrepreneurs as well as senior leaders to be part of a positive integrative process that advocates growth and champions a joint effort to grow each individual business. Over time, peer advisory groups establish an alliance for effective growth and trust leading to future business success.
