How to work with the results in small teams

For small teams, there is great possibilities to create engagement and change in a fast pace. Every voice becomes clear - this makes dialogue very important. Here is our best practices to succeed. 

 

💡 Focus on dialogue – not numbers
The result is a starting point for conversation, not a grade.

  • Talk about experiences and themes, not exact percentages.
  • Ask open questions:
    - What do we recognize in each other?
    - What works well in our collaboration?
    - What would make our everyday lives easier?

The purpose: Create understanding together – not analyze statistics.

🤝 Create security in the conversation
In small teams, anonymity can feel limited. Help each other to talk openly and respectfully. Explain the purpose: We do this to develop – not to evaluate.

  • Share your own reflections as a leader.
  • Get help from HR or a neutral facilitator if trust needs to be strengthened.

Psychological security first – development comes later!

🎯 Choose a few but important focus areas
Small steps make the biggest difference.

  • Choose 1–2 areas to work on further.
  • Focus on what directly affects everyday life, such as communication, feedback or workload.
  • Form simple, concrete activities.

Example:
"We will add 10 minutes to the weekly meeting to highlight what worked well."

🔄 Follow up often and easily
Change is created when you maintain the dialogue over time.

  • Decide what needs to be done, who is responsible and when you follow up.
  • Feel free to use a regular meeting for follow-up.
  • Do a first reconciliation after 6–8 weeks.

Small steps + regular follow-up = big effect.

🌱 Lift the strengths
Start the conversation with what works well. It creates energy and commitment.

  • Identify what you do well and how you can do more of it.
  • Combine strengths with areas for improvement for a balanced discussion.

Build on what works – it gives you strength to move forward.

🔁 Make it a habit
Working with the results is an ongoing process.

  • Use Brilliant's model: Survey => Analyze => Act => New survey
  • Feel free to raise one issue area at a time during the year – briefly, but regularly.

Small steps, often, together – that's the key to development.

Summary

Small groups have great opportunities: closeness, commitment and speed.
By talking openly, choosing the right focus and following up continuously, you can create real change – together.

Talk about the experiences behind the numbers – that's where development begins!
