About Peernovation
Peer•no•va•tion (pir-nə-ˈvā-shən):
Peer (people of equal standing) and Innovation (creativity realized)
Peernovation helps leaders and teams transform peer influence into a lasting advantage. Inspired by the practices of the world's top CEO forums, we help organizations create the conditions where people challenge, support, and elevate one another.
Our Approach
Combining Vertical and Horizontal Strength
People work harder when surrounded by high-performing peers. Belonging and shared standards elevate effort beyond what personal motivation alone produces. This is why we believe in addressing your organization's vertical and horizontal dynamics to foster growth and excellence. We understand that a company's strength lies in both its hierarchical structure and its horizontal dynamics, where key influencers who may not have the loftiest job titles play pivotal roles as trusted voices for their fellow employees.
Harnessing the Power of Employee Trust
Employees increasingly turn to their peers for information, perspective, and support. As work becomes more collaborative and less hierarchical, organizations that intentionally harness peer influence will outperform those that do not.
According to the Edelman Trust Barometer, employees trust their coworkers more than traditional institutional sources.
