How Does It Work?

Any individual who has completed an ‘Everything DiSC Workplace on Catalyst’ assessment, gains immediate access to their profile content, helpful videos, a one-hour podcast about their own DiSC style and many other valuable  resources….all in their own personal Catalyst learner account. 

Dynamic features such as ‘YOUR COLLEAGUES’,  ‘YOUR GROUPS’ and our latest feature, ‘CONVERSATION STARTERS’ enable learners to understand how they can work more effectively with each other.  

Packed with helpful tips, tools, resources and strategies, this unique platform can be used for pre-course preparation; to enhance the coaching and training experience; and as an on-going resource for individuals and teams to continuously work on improving their relationships.

Learners value the practical  convenience of being able to regularly use the dynamic platform to improve their relationships; trainers and facilitators value the way Catalyst enriches their trainings; organisations value the impact of Catalyst on shaping a positive working culture, performance, efficiency  and results.

How Much Is It?

The good news is that all of this value is provided for the same price as one single Everything DiSC profile!

What’s the experience like?

There are currently THREE Everything DiSC applications available on Catalyst (Workplace, Agile EQ and Management), but the experience always begins with Everything DiSC Workplace® on Catalyst™.

There are FOUR PARTS to the Catalyst learning experience

Assessment

Part one – The assessment questionnaire

Participants begin the process by completing a computer-adaptive assessment that uncovers their DiSC style, providing them with behavioural self-awareness and understanding. The assessment is comprised of the ‘adaptive testing’ questions that determine the location of their ‘dot’ as well as ‘priority subscale’ questions for four different applications: Workplace, Agile EQ, Productive Conflict and Management. Although learners always start with the Workplace on Catalyst profile, additional profile reports can be ‘unlocked’ at any time without the learner needing to complete another questionnaire. (NB Workplace, Agile EQ and Management ONLY are currently available in Catalyst. We expect Productive Conflict to be added in 2023/2024) 

Discover your disc style

Part two – The profile content

Next, the assessment results are translated into a personalised content that’s easily accessible on the Catalyst platform. Each participant’s DiSC style is described in detail, beginning the process of their personal and professional  development.

Connect with collegues

Part Three – Comparisons in the ‘My Colleagues’ section and group maps in ‘Your Groups’ PLUS the latest feature ‘Conversation Starters’

Comparisons:
In Catalyst, any learner can compare their own DiSC style with the style of their colleagues.  They receive extensive tips for improving interactions and working relationships.

The Catalyst platform now includes a ‘privacy tab’ so any learner can choose whether they wish their style to be viewed by colleagues or not. If a learner selects the privacy tab, they can’t see the styles of colleagues either.

Group Maps:
A Group Map is a visual representation of the DiSC styles of a group or team.  Any  Catalyst learner can now create and save a group map of their choice simply by identifying the people they would like to be included in that group. What this means is managers and individuals can explore group dynamics, get insights into each of the DiSC styles in a team and understand the big picture and how the blend of styles affects group culture.

Conversation Starters:
Many teams struggle to connect, discussions stall and teams are left with more questions than answers after meetings. Sound familiar?

With Conversation Starters on CatalystTM, teams now have an easy way to tackle common challenges that hinder their performance—moving beyond understanding to tangible change.

Conversation Starters provides teams with an easy (and fun!) way to build cohesion and improve performance. By combining DiSC® with simple discussion guides, teams can talk about personality-based differences and how they affect group performance—culminating in clear action steps for the future. With Conversation Starters, teams will:

  • Get to know each other faster
  • Communicate more clearly
  • Make better decisions together

We now have these ‘Your Group’ enhancements:

  1. You can now filter your Colleagues by Group: This filtering option helps Catalyst learners find the colleagues and team members that are most relevant to their work lives in the Your Colleagues feature on Catalyst.
  1. You can now share Groups with Colleagues:By enabling Catalyst users to share their groups with colleagues, team members no longer need to recreate the group within their Catalyst profile. Instead, ALL the group members can now access all the information relevant to their group and learners can leave the group anytime should they choose to.
  1. You can now ‘Favourite and Hide Groups: As learners create, share, and access Groups on Catalyst, they can organise their groups for convenience.
DiSC Applications

Part four – The training experience

To further drive home the lessons of the Catalyst experience, training facilitation tools support virtual or in-person training. Facilitators can meet learners where they’re most comfortable, on their own devices and in their own time. They can also assign ‘pre’ or ‘post’ session work on Catalyst and walk-through features together, either one-to-one or in a group. The Everything DiSC facilitation experience on Catalyst is condensed into five modules that average 54 minutes each. They are fully customisable and can be delivered in any order, with small or large groups.
Presentations, videos, and other dynamic teaching tools help drive home the lessons and make the benefits of the Catalyst experience a lasting part of your organisational culture.

Team Action

Makes DiSC Practical and Actionable

Whilst most people love learning what makes them tick, the real power of DiSC comes from learning about others and how to best interact with them, strengthening team working and relationships. With Catalyst, any member of an organisation will be immediately connected with others in their organisation so they can gain tips and strategies for interacting more successfully.

It is entirely up to you what you call ‘an organisation’. Furthermore, this can easily be changed as many times as you wish. For example, some organisations like to start small, calling a number of discreet teams ‘organisations’. Others like to start bigger. It’s completely up to you!

Appeals To All Learning Styles

Not everyone learns the same way. The Catalyst platform incorporates easily navigable information shown in sidebars. Each learner can quickly move to the content that interests them. The site also incorporates podcasts and video content. Engage your learners by encouraging them to review a video clip or podcast and discuss over lunch or a team meeting.
