German term or phrase: kollegiale Beratung
In einem Brief an die Vorgesetzten von High Potentials heißt es:
"Bei dieser Veranstaltung stehen der Austausch, die*** kollegiale Beratung*** und das Networking im Vordergrund."

In Linguee heißt es "collegial advice". Ist das richtig? Ich denke an "colleague".

peer consultation
Explanation:
oder peer-to-peer consultation
oder intervision

as opposed to supervision.

Kollegiale Beratung oder Intervision ist eine Methode, um Lösungen bei fachlichen Fragen zu finden, meist in den Bereichen Medizin, Psychologie, Pädagogik und Sozialarbeit. Entscheidend ist, dass sich Gleichgestellte gegenseitig beraten. Anders als bei der Supervision, dem Coaching oder der Balint-Gruppe, wo ein besonders ausgebildeter Berater diese Aufgabe übernimmt.

agree  philgoddard: I think "advice" is less likely in this context. I'd go for collaboration or consultation.

neutral  phillee: 'Beratung' has more general defiinition: "Zusammenkunft von Leuten, um Informationen zu einem Thema auszutauschen" - I think 'advice' might be too specific in this context.

informal exchange/advice


Explanation:
As in "socializing, informal exchange/advice and networking..."

It's not clear if only the supervisors will be present, or the high potentials as well. That would affect the choice of words, as the supervisors among themselves would more likely be peers, whereas supervisors talking with their supervisees, might be more of an advising/mentoring relationship.

So, maybe "informal exchange" if among supervisors, and "informal advice" if between supervisors and supervisees?

intercollegial communication / discussion


Explanation:
Suggestion:

Good intercollegial communication is a relatively unstudied topic,

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22587317

One particular source of stress..... is intercollegial relations, both with peers and administrators.

neutral  Ellen Kraus: Intercollegial, as I was told recently, is not as yet a term common in English; and indeed, the only link I found was a non native one, from the Netherlands.

agree  Marc Svetov: I think Cilian is right.
2 hrs
agree  Sanni Kruger (X): I think "peer" is the best term in this context, rather than colleagues. Personally I would opt for peer support - get away from the literal translation. That's the way I read it.
2 hrs
agree  Thomas Pfann: Gut, dass hier auch einmal die Definition von „kollegiale Beratung“ auftaucht. Das zeigt, dass es hier doch um etwas Spezielleres geht als einfach den Plausch am Rande der Veranstaltung.
2 hrs
agree  Wendy Streitparth: Definitely the best option (so far!)
5 hrs
agree  RuthDE: Ich kenne "peer counselling" als gegenseitige Beratungsgespräche unter Kollegen (Linienvorgesetzte aus unterschiedl. Bereichen, die einander in einer Kleingruppe Probleme mit Mitarbeiter_innen vorstellten)
1 day 2 hrs
agree  Katja Dienemann: Mit diesem Vorschlag wird der Möglichkeit, dass die Methode "Kollegiale Beratung" gemeint sein könnte, sehr gut Rechnung getragen.
