Subgroups

Extension to the default group profile

It is oftentimes relevant to have members of different teams, project, or departments participate together in a single Diversity Icebreaker (DI) workshop. DI is particularly fitted for this purpose as it builds trust, evokes positive climate, and makes people to get to know each other and quickly develop a sense of community – despite coming from different parts of the organization.

 

 

The default group profile is always included when ordering the online DI questionnaire. It will provide you with an overall picture of the total group, e.g. a whole organization. However, sometimes you might want to see total group as well as different subgroups represented in your workshop.

 

The additional subgroup function makes that possible by asking participants an additional question about which team/department/project/etc. they belong to in the beginning of the questionnaire. You can then view the total group profile as well as the profiles of different subgroups present in the workshop.

 

This function allows for up to 50 subgroups. All groups can be named according to the customer's wishes.

 

 

 

 
Results

You will see the subgroup profiles on a separate tab in the group profile. See an example of a subgroup below: 

 

 

 

Applications

You can use subgroup profiles for follow-up work after the standard DI workshop. For example, ask participants to reflect on their strengths as group, their dominant preference, or how they can compensate for the colors they have little of.

 

Oftentimes, team-subgroups will have too few members to discuss "distance" and "closeness" in terms of communication style between individual members.

 

Teams and project teams can also compare their own profiles with the total group: "Is our color profile representative for the entire organization or not? What might the difference mean for us?"?"

 

All sub-profiles can also be shared such that everyone can discuss various groups’ relationship to processes in the organization; or what could be improved in communication between teams and departments.
