The Insights Discovery model is a simple and accessible four-color model which, accompanied by an Insights Discovery Personal Profile, helps people to understand more about themselves and others.
It creates a common language that makes it easier to identify strengths and address weaknesses, so that individuals and teams can perform at their highest level. This model provides an effective foundation for learning programs since it inspires individuals to think about how they act and communicate.
Every person has all four-color energies within them but has a natural preference for some over others which influences their motivations and behavior; it is the combination of these energies which creates each unique personality.
By understanding your own and others’ preferences better, you can take simple, practical actions that improve your everyday relationships.
You can use the Insights Discovery system to accelerate the transformation of your business and the personal growth of your people. One of Insights Discovery’s greatest features is its versatility; it can integrate and support other systems already in place by providing a common, easy-to-use language that is shared across whole organizations.
Effective teams are the building blocks of successful organizations so it’s vital that they are balanced, focused and cohesive. Discovering Team Effectiveness helps teams to find their balance and give their best performance, even during the most difficult times.
Discovering Team Effectiveness provides a team with the framework it needs to identify the most pressing and important issues. We help to diagnose and confront problems, improve relationships, inspire success and ultimately increase productivity.
With Discovering Team Effectiveness, each team member receives an Insights Discovery Personal Profile. This helps each person appreciate that unique value they bring to the team. Then, through facilitated discussions, exercises and breakout sessions, the team can learn how their individual and team preferences affect team dynamics and performance.
This session explores the Discovering Team Effectiveness model using the four colors of Insights Discovery to introduce the pillars of Focus, Flow, Climate and Process, all of which are essential to create a balanced, high-performing team.
If one of these areas isn’t working properly then the team may be unproductive in any number of ways. A balanced team is a successful team, and this model can help to address issues in all four areas. This session also encourages teams to create practical action plans that accelerate progress towards their shared goals.
Great leaders inspire. They motivate not only the people they manage, but also their peers, their own leaders and the entire organization.
Good leadership is about mastering more than a set of management skills. Leaders should create a compelling vision, produce results, and maximise the effectiveness of their team through shared goals and values. Discovering Leadership Effectiveness helps people become the best leaders they can be.
Building on the Insights Discovery model, we work with leaders to explore their personal leadership style and unique value. Through a series of workshops and/or coaching sessions, leaders learn how their individual style and preferences manifest themselves in their leadership. This enables the leader to examine their effectiveness in each of these areas.
Discovering Sales Effectiveness is for salespeople who want to develop their skills, improve their interactions with customers and apply a people-centered approach to sales. It provides salespeople with a unique insight into themselves and their customers and explores how preferences and behavior can impact customers at each stage of the sale.
Learners receive a personal profile including the Effective Selling Chapter which explores their strengths and weaknesses at each stage of the sales cycle in the context of their color preferences. Learners can use this, together with the session, to develop these areas and increase their selling success.
The success of a business depends on how well its people work together. The connections built between colleagues, direct reports and manager all affect how productive your people are, so it’s critical that everyone takes the time to build good relationships.
Discovery Full Circle is a tool which offers 360-degree feedback in a way that’s positive and motivates people to take action to improve relationships. Based on the same principles and designed as a follow-on from Insights Discovery, it compares an individual’s self-perception with the perception of a feedback group.
Discovery Full Circle can be used in a series of workshops and/or one-to-one coaching sessions, and each learner receives an in-depth profile that can be referred to periodically to measure changes and to recommit to and steps for continued development.
Discovering Full Circle takes feedback that can be difficult to hear and translates it into positive action, helping recipients gain a greater sensitivity and awareness of how their behavior and preferences are perceived by others. Learners then establish clear and specific strategies for adapting and connecting with their colleagues in the feedback group.
