Context

EGN Belgium's Women in Leadership Peer Group is an interdisciplinary peer network for women in middle and upper executive positions, part of EGN's wider peer-group network in Belgium and globally.

Objectives

To connect women leaders with peers for benchmarking, sparring and feedback, and to support their personal and professional development and leadership skills.

Activities

Members select topics with a chair and discuss them in half-day peer group meetings; the group also runs global webinars and a cross-functional event, and gives members access to EGN's wider member network.

Implementation
Indicative cost
Low (< €50k) — Peer-group membership model (EGN); cost is membership-fee based rather than large public investment, so a low relative cost band is assigned.
Time to results
Medium (1–3 years) — Recurring annual cycle of meetings and webinars; benefits accrue over a medium-term (roughly a year) rather than immediately.
