Why is Catalyst Our Recommended Solution?

by | Oct 23, 2024 | About DiSC, Catalyst | 0 comments

Catalyst is the superior DiSC instrument in nearly every case

Here’s why…

DiSC on Catalyst has more features.

Let’s start with what the traditional Workplace assessment provides. Once you complete the traditional Workplace assessment, you receive a downloadable PDF report covering:

  • Your style, Workplace priorities and motivators and stressors
  • The DiSC model and the four styles
  • How you see the four styles and react to them
  • How to connect with people of the four styles
  • Three action items for to work more effectively with others
  • A style index covering basic traits of the 12 Everything DiSC styles

That’s alot and it’s great, which is the reason why literally millions of people have completed this assessment!

DiSC on Catalyst offers so much more… at the same cost!

With Catalyst, you get everything contained in the Workplace profile. The results are the same, they are just laid out differently across Catalyst’s web-based platform.

So what else do you get?

Catalyst offers some additional DiSC background information that would have added too many pages to the PDF version. But that’s not where the real value is. Catalyst offers: 

  • Video clips of real people modeling characteristics of the four styles
  • A view of all of your colleagues with individualized, one-on-one advise on:
    • Connecting with coworkers you don’t know well
    • Working together more effectively
    • How to approach another coworker when tensions arise
    • The best way to present an idea to a coworker to get buy-in
  • The ability to create (and share) groups of coworkers to explore team dynamics
  • Built-in mini-meetings for groups you’ve created
  • Indefinite access to the platform

Catalyst, with all of these extra features, is the same price as the PDF version.

It becomes pretty obvious why we rarely recommend the traditional PDF-based Workplace profile.

When is Catalyst not recommended?

For one individual, Catalyst still has some benefits, but much of the power of the platform (colleagues, groups) is not available .

If time is purely of the essence, the Catalyst assessment takes a little longer to complete.

For groups of people that are from different organizations (for example, a public interpersonal skills class), Catalyst may not be the optimal choice because one the class is over, each person would belong to a different organization. This can add to the adminstrative overhead to the point where it outweights the benefits.

But these are not typical

Not only are these situations are few and far between, Catalyst can still be used. It just may not be the best choice and we still offer the traditional Workplace profile for these cases.
