The Catalyst curriculum for virtual training supports a wide range of platforms. The Advanced curriculum requires polling, annotation and breakout rooms. If your preferred platform lacks any of these, you may wish to use the Basic curriculum.

The primary difference between Basic and Advanced curriculum is how the activities are structured. The objectives and learning points are the same.

The Catalyst Facilitation Kit contains course materials and videos for Workplace, Agile EQ and Management. There are versions for both classroom (in-person) and virtual sessions included.

Facilitation kits and DiSC profiles are sold separately. While training classes can be built without a kit, the reverse is not true: The kits are designed specifically around the corresponding profile. The material would not be of much use without the learners having taken the assessment.

Kits contain course materials (PowerPoint decks, Leader’s Guides, handout masters), all of which can be freely edited and customized.

Generally, yes, but virtual support varies by kit.

The Catalyst Facilitation Kit was designed from the start to support both virtual and in-person training. It comes with both versions for Fundamentals, Workplace, Agile EQ and Management.

The traditional, non-Catalyst kits have had updates to support virtual training, mostly in the form of adapting activities to a virtual classroom and providing streaming links for the videos.

A Facilitation Kit is definitely not required. In fact, if your course objectives are very specific to your business or industry, a kit may not be worth it. Even then, though, the kit’s pre-built course materials are freely customizable and may be a great starting point.

Another advantage of the kits is the videos. Having people model the styles in context-specific situations is the often best way for learners to understand the differences in styles. While the kits are not inexpensive, creating a similar set of professional videos would cost many times the price of the kit.

Each facilitation kit is specific to one of the profiles in the Everything DiSC product suite. The curriculum in each kit aligns with the contents of the corresponding profile. So, the Management Facilitation Kit has modules that relate to the contents of the Management profile with videos and activities that support key concepts. The Work of Leaders Facilitation Kit address the contents of the leadership profile. The contents of the kits for Workplace, Productive Conflict, Agile EQ and Sales each match the content of their respective profiles.

The exception is the Catalyst Facilitation Kit. Catalyst is a web-based platform that allows respondents to interactively learn about DiSC and explore their results. This kit contains in-person and virtual course materials for Workplace, Agile EQ, and Management classes.

Purchasers of the Workplace, Agile EQ or Management Facilitation Kit have been eligible for a free upgrade to the Catalyst materials for all three of these applications (even if you only have one of the kits).
