What is DiSC®?
The DiSC profile, published by Wiley, is a non-judgmental tool used for discussion of people's behavioural differences. When you participate in one of the Best Practice IT Major Incident Management Training programmes, you will complete a series of questions prior to beginning programme. This will produce a detailed report about your personality and behaviour and you will receive advice related to working with people of other styles.
The DiSC® model provides a useful, common language that people can use to better understand themselves and to adapt their behaviours to others — for Major Incident Management this applies when working within a team, whilst leading Technical Resolving Groups, managing stakeholders, engaging with End Users, and customers. Ultimately this means better relationships and more effective collaboration, which leads to faster resolutions.
DiSC profiles help you and your IT Operation:
- Increase your self-knowledge: understand how you respond to conflict, what motivates you, what causes you stress, and how you solve problems.
- To lead in a more considered way, whilst also improving relationships.
- Improve working relationships by recognizing the communication needs of others.
- Facilitate better teamwork and teach productive conflict.
- Develop stronger skills by identifying and responding to others styles.
- Manage more effectively by understanding the dispositions and priorities of stakeholders and team members.
