Maybe DISC feels like a one-time workshop? Or reports are too expensive? Perhaps it’s not fully connected to your training programs?
This is the story of how one organization switched to Extended DISC® and turned DISC into a strategic development solution.
If you're evaluating DISC vendors, this story will help you decide what really matters.
Many companies use DISC. But few use it well. In this organization, DISC was:
It became a “nice training session” instead of a tool for real change. DISC was something they used occasionally, not something embedded in their culture.
That’s a problem.
If DISC is only used once a year, behavior won’t change. If reports can’t be customized, they won’t match your culture. If costs are too high, you won’t scale it.
The company asked one important question: Can DISC become part of our culture — not just a workshop?
That question changed everything. And the search for a new DISC vendor began.
After reviewing vendors, the organization chose Extended DISC® because it offered a scalable, cost-effective platform that could be customized.
Scalable Enterprise Platform: Many DISC vendors charge per report. That makes scaling expensive. Extended DISC® offers flexible pricing, including unlimited-use license options.
Once someone completes the questionnaire, the system can generate hundreds of reports - all without extra fees.
That’s what makes Extended DISC® an enterprise DISC assessment platform.
Customizable DISC Reports: Extended DISC® allows organizations to customize reports. This makes Extended DISC® feel relevant, not generic.
For this organization, it meant that instead of changing their training programs to fit a generic report, they can select and customize reports to fit their training initiatives.
And guess what? This builds scale. DISC is no longer a one-time event. Now, it’s a sustainable option that is relevant.
Ask yourself, “does your current DISC provider let you customize reports or run various reports at no additional cost?”
Extended DISC® is now used across this organization in many ways.
Monthly DISC Training Webinars
Instead of offering DISC once a year, the company launched monthly 2.5-hour webinars. The is the first entry point for all participants
On average, 50 employees attend each month. After the initial roll out, the demand grew quickly so now they are expanding to offer the webinar twice a month.
That’s 1,200 employees per year building communication skills and self-awareness. That’s real scale. That's real impact.
Leadership Development
The foundation of strong leadership is self-awareness. For this organization, it meant that instead of changing their leadership program to fit a generic report, their leadership program uses a customized Extended DISC® Leadership Report aligned to their company values.
And guess what? Leaders connect with it immediately.
Team Communication
This organization also leverages Extended DISC® to enhance teamwork. It is used to improve communication, reduce friction and understand differences.
These conversations create “aha moments” that change behavior. This is where real change occurs.
Coaching and Ongoing Development
Extended DISC® is used in coaching sessions at every level across this organization. It’s not a one-time event. It’s part of daily work. It’s no longer something used occasionally, but instead Extended DISC® offers the ability to embed DISC into their culture.
It has become a shared language across the company. And when people share a common language, communication improves naturally.
