Peer Insight – Start the Conversation

Peer Insight is a tool that engages employees in a conversation that generates honest and unfiltered insight into what is really impacting or impeding the growth of the organization.

Each Peer Insight™ Deck contains two types of cards.

30+ – Topic Cards

Vary by Topic Deck

In excess of 30 Topic Decks

available, with new Topic Decks regularly added at

www.BIZgames.biz

18 – Praise or Concern Cards

Optional Cards for use during play

10 – Challenge/Confirm Tents

One side has the word Challenge, the other side, Confirm.

Pass out to each player prior to play.

1 – Invigorate Card Placed with Peer Insight Cards – provides quick exercise boost during play.

On the face of the Peer Insight Cards, variations of two phrases reside. I have a Praise about…

Or

I have a Concern about…

Each Topic Card includes appropriate use designations. If a Topic Card contains an “e” it’s appropriate for use with employees, an “m” is appropriate for managers and management teams and “r” is roundtable appropriate such as Vistage, YPO, etc. A card can contain one, two or all three designations. Simply remove cards if they aren’t appropriate for a group.

Note: Each deck includes two blank cards, which will enable you to write a custom statement using a dry erase marker. If you choose to write in custom topic cards, shuffle them in with the printed Topic Cards. Remove prior to play if you choose to forgo using.

On the face of the Topic Card is a statement that will be read in combination with a Praise or Concern Card.

Hand the Peer Insight and Topic Cards to the first player. The player will pick one card from each deck and read them out loud to the other players. The player will then answer the the statement from their perspective.

OR a Praise version might look something like this.

Upon each player’s completion of their statement, the cards will travel around the table till every Player has taken at least one turn.

Note: Keep the Peer Insight and the Topic Cards separate by placing in two piles or placing them in a BIZgames Card Holder stand. Also be sure to remove any blank cards prior to play, if custom topic cards were not written.

Game Variations

Numerous game variations exist, here are a few: Switch: Hand out one Topic Card to each player (Peer Insight cards are not in play yet.) at the beginning of game play. Have each player read their Topic Card out loud. Player #1 can then decide to switch their Topic Card with another player, or not. Proceed around the table until each player has been allowed to switch with another player. Upon completion (each player will have their Topic Card in front of them), put Peer Insight cards in play.

Note: Remove Pick Two, Pass cards and Invigorate cards from the Peer Insight deck, prior to play.

Players Choice: The game leader removes the Peer Insight cards from the table, and then informs players they will decide whether to answer their Topic Card with an “I have a Praise about…” or “I have a Concern about…” statement.

Challenge/Confirm: Each deck includes 10 Challenge/Confirm tents, which are optional for play. When used, hand out one tent to each player prior to play. A player simply places the tent with their response in front of them following an answer to a Praise or Concern statement. “Confirm” states they believe the answer, and the answer is generally consistent with their understanding of the situation. “Challenge,” if they disagree. This is a great process for creating awareness and understanding. Visit our website at www.BIZgames.biz to discover new and innovative ways to play Peer Insight.
