This document outlines eight critical points of peer-to-peer engagement for innovation: 1) reflection to gain outside perspectives, 2) process observation for feedback and quality improvement, 3) option identification for objectivity, 4) data finding and clarification for best practices, 5) problem-solving through teamwork, 6) training, educating, and coaching for knowledge transfer, 7) solution advocacy for real-world applicability, and 8) implementation support which is crucial for realizing returns. Engaging peers at each stage enhances innovation capability, avoids pitfalls, and increases value and satisfaction.

- 2. Eight critical points of peer-to-peer engagement 1. Reflection: often you might lack a sounding board to your innovation thinking and far too often advice given may have its own personal agenda, so finding someone who can demonstrate that they do understand your perspective and is able to discuss this freely and openly, can offer a valuable contribution to enhance your views and strengthen their implementation. 2. Process Observation: this can often throw into a sharp focus what you are capable of doing well but often the external input can provide feedback that can lead to some critical questioning, even revealing some crucial gaps and can provide a timely, relevant perspective to avoid potential pitfalls and add value. 3. Option Identification: engaging in the intermediate steps of reviewing available options provides a valuable objectivity at a critical stage within developing innovation capability; we can provide advice that helps work through these evaluations and stimulate potential alternatives often hidden from immediate view. 4. Data Finding & Clarification: the value of benchmarking and knowing best practice helps provide a broader understanding of the critical gaps, competitive forces and the alternatives that are available. These can come from within your industry or further afield, to advance your thinking to different alternatives, fresh insights and paths to follow that can contribute to a stronger competitive position. 5. Problemsolving teamwork: often teams are rich in knowledge but sometimes lack the ability to see the external perspective and alternatives that we feel we can bring into the equation. Also external help can offer expertise for the project that is not immediately available within the organization. 6. Training, Educating & Coaching: often training fails to transfer the knowledge back into the organization. This lack of embedding through immediate practice can lead to a absence of personal identification. Using our coaching and mentoring correlation methods we look to achieve specific outcomes on the job. 7. Solution Advocacy: the key to successfully external advice is not just in the recommendations and guidelines but the critical part is the issue of transferability into the real world and working through the implications this brings. We look for greater participation at this stage as it greatly increases the value and satisfaction from the engagement from all perspectives. 8. Implementation: supporting the innovation solutions is often the toughest part that needs that extra energy and understanding as it is only at this stage you begin to have a return on your investment. In our view execution is strategy and where we can add considerable gravitas at the most critical time, realizing the result.
