Secure your place: Peer-to-Peer Programmes 2023-24

The Growth Hub is currently finalising plans to deliver a series of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) programmes, for which you can now register your interest.

The Growth Hub has previously delivered a variety of well-received peer-to-peer (P2P) programmes, both online and in-person, to businesses in York and North Yorkshire.  These groups bring together local businesses to engage in structured discussion which is led by an experienced facilitator. These facilitators play a crucial role in this process, helping to create trust and reduce isolation, especially within smaller businesses that may have less internal support. By providing a forum for decision-making and support, these groups can help businesses to grow and focus on strategy and the bigger picture.

One of the key benefits of these support groups is that they are non-competitive and discreet, allowing participants to engage in peer-support, action learning, and discussion within a safe and supportive environment. This approach has been shown to lead to significant productivity improvements, as businesses take advice from trusted sources and build a network of local peers. Participants in these support groups also benefit from making time to focus on their business, building confidence and resilience, and gaining valuable insights from their peers.

Peer support groups:

• Bring together groups of businesses for multiple sessions, with time between for attendees to put learning into action before reconvening
• Cover a wide range of subjects, including but not limited to: Business planning, leadership and management, recruitment and retention, energy and net-zero
• Improve business performance and confidence, increase productivity, create and safeguard jobs
