Use the Surveys to Gather Feedback

How did today’s session go? How do the sessions in your circle go in general? Did they become valuable when you implemented a change?

You can easily gather and analyze the data for these questions, using the survey feature. Here is what you need to know:

STEP 1: Use the surveys in your session

STEP 2: Analyse your data

STEP 1: Use the surveys in your session

To make it easy for you and your peers to access the survey, it is a built in feature of the Circles technology.

1. When creating your agenda, or when editing the agenda in the CirclesSpace™️, you can prepare a ‘Group Survey’ button in your agenda. But you can also open it on the go via the Tools menu.
2. Trigger the survey by clicking the button in your agenda, or selecting ‘Group Survey’ inside the Tools Menu under “Session Controls”

3. A pop-up window will open in your CircleSpace™️. Each circle member will be able to individually select whether they facilitated today’s session or participated in it.

Matching their selection, each circle member will subsequently be shown be shown the facilitator survey or the participant survey.

Clicking the x on the top right of the survey window will only close the survey for the person who clicked it. This way, each person can take as much time as they need to complete the survey.

STEP 2: Analyze your data

Go to your My.Circles Dashboard to consult your data. In the History & Metrics section, you can find the numerical scores, averages and evolution over time and selecting an individual circle and session, you can read the feedback each participant left.
