Meaning and definition of peer assist :
Peer Assist: A peer assist is simply a process where a team of people who are working on a project or activity call a meeting or workshop to seek knowledge and insights from people in other teams. Seeking help from peers is not new. But the formal use of this process as a knowledge management tool and the coining of the term ‘peer assist’ were pioneered by British Petroleum. Peer assists facilitate ‘learning before doing’, i.e. gathering knowledge before embarking on a project or piece of work, or when facing a specific problem or challenge within a piece of work. The benefits of peer assists are quickly realized. Learning is directly focused on a specific task or problem, and so it can be applied immediately. A peer assist allows the team involved to gain input and insights from people outside the team, and to identify possible new lines of enquiry or approach. Peer assists facilitate the reuse of existing knowledge and experience, promote sharing of learning between teams and strengthen social networks.
