What’s the difference between a team and a summary group?

A team consists of people who report to the same manager, while a summary aggregates results from underlying teams or groups – typically representing a higher level in the organisation.

Summary

Summary groups represent the hierarchical levels of the organisation and are used to compile results from multiple underlying summaries and teams - they do not contain any users. Summary groups are indicated with a blue dot.

Team

Teams consist of people who report directly to the same manager. The results are specific to the team and their manager. Teams are indicated with a pink dot.

 

Note: Users can only be created and added to teams.

This is because Brilliant’s method and model are based on employees evaluating their immediate manager and work environment at the team level. This ensures that each team receives tailored insights and has the best conditions for meaningful follow-up based on their specific results.

Example

The example below shows part of an organisational structure. See the "Category" column for different group types, and note the summary group “Revenue,” which consists of a total of 13 people from underlying teams.
