Abstract
PurposeThis paper aims to evaluate group mentoring as a large‐scale form of collaborative learning.Design/methodology/approachResearchers used a 12‐question survey and personal interviews to assess the relevancy and success of group mentoring, and its impact on personal productivity/effectiveness and organizational success.FindingsA total of 93 percent said topics discussed during their group mentoring events were relevant to them and their jobs, and 96 percent reported that they could apply information gained during group mentoring directly to their role in the organization.Research limitations/implicationsFurther research with a larger survey population would be valuable, particularly as the use of group mentoring expands.Practical implicationsGroup mentoring can replace costly classroom training, allowing more people to gain useful and practical knowledge in a setting that supports large‐scale productivity and effectiveness back on the job.Originality/valueAll content in this paper is new. Readers will discover the latest research and trends in group mentoring and collaborative learning.
