Peer Collaboration

Ripe LearningCircles and ThinkTanks

Online peer collaboration and mentoring tailored to your needs
The possibilities of online collaboration are endless and the benefits often life changing.

Ripe Online LearningCircles and ThinkTanks are private online environments built to order for your collaborative or mentored learning purpose. They can help you:

Build powerful networks for leadership and rigorous peer exchange

Online ThinkTanks bring senior managers and sector leaders together in a process which will stimulate, challenge and push the boundaries of their thinking.

Deliver tailored capability building programs accessible to all

Online LearningCircles can be designed around any learning outcome however modest or ambitious. They feature your choice of interactive functions which may include real-time chat, instant messaging, resource library, forum, blog, quiz or wiki, to name just a few. Accessibility is as simple as an internet connection; no software downloads or complicated instructions.

Add value and depth to existing offline programs

Conference or training program content can be used as a springboard to deeper learning online through mentored, tightly focussed pre- or post-program LearningCircles, offering 'blended' delivery.

Create a dynamic repository for ideas and intellectual property

Mentored online LearningCircles and ThinkTanks produce valuable ideas and resources which can be consolidated, stored, shared and used as a basis for further exploration.

Enlist global expertise without blowing the budget

Subtract the cost of travel and expenses, add 24/7 access to the collaborative environment and suddenly the inclusion of leading international specialists in your capability building program becomes vastly more affordable.

Manage the challenges of change within a responsive and flexible environment

Annual live gatherings are valuable but no match for the immediacy, relevance and responsiveness of online peer collaboration when it comes to the ongoing daily challenge of keeping pace with change.

Foster the benefits of shared learning and peer exchange

Collaboration promotes creative problem solving, pooling of resources, a sense of community and shared ownership of common goals.

Say goodbye to the tyranny of distance

Travel costs for your stakeholders scattered across the regions are becoming increasingly difficult to justify in both financial and environmental terms. At the same time, the benefits of collaboration have never been greater. Our collaborative online environments connect you instantly with your peers across the street or across the globe.
