Discus is perfect for assessing how an individual will interact within a team.
Discus includes a new extension of DISC theory designed to examine a member's attitudes towards teamwork, and to identify the likely types of role that individual will adopt. Discus now includes a complete team profiling suite, capable of describing the make-up of any team, analysing the team as a whole, its leadership and the relationships within.
Building a Better Team Means Finding a Perfect Combination
There are many factors that influence the effectiveness and productivity of a working group, but their personalities are one of the most important factors. Discus can construct a 'team profile' for any set of individual personalities, helping to understand the team’s inner workings and individual roles.
Drag-and-Drop Team BuildingBuilding a team with Discus could not be easier: just choose any combination of DISC personality profiles, and Discus will automatically develop the team. You can use this method to model and explore existing teams, but it's also possible to put together potential combinations for new teams. That gives you the key to anticipating how any group of people will work together. |
The Team and the ReserveDiscus doesn't just define a single team. It also gives you a 'Reserve' that holds potential members of the group. Using the Reserve, it's a quick and simple process to move members into and out of the group, so that you can immediately see what changes are likely to occur as new members are brought into the team. |
Roles Within a TeamDiscus incorporates a powerful role model that describes members in terms of their Pace, Perspective and Focus. This 'PPF' model identifies the attitudes of an individual, and specifies the type of role they'll perform within the team. By understanding how different roles fit together, you can quickly identify the strengths of the team as a whole, and also locate areas where roles need to be expanded. |
Automated Team Building
Discus can generate teams automatically. Just specify the most important features of a team, then Discus will search through individual profiles and find the best possible combination.
Thousands of Combinations
This automated process can search through thousands of potential team members in minutes, homing in on the optimum group. Discus will even suggest which of those members might make the most effective team leader.
Finding New Team MembersDiscus can also find the best new members for an existing team. Just define the qualities you’re looking for in the Role Profiler, and it will find the closest matching candidates. |
Keeping TrackDiscus keeps a historical log of all the changes you make to a team, so as you make adjustments, those changes can be tracked over time. You can also add your own notes to the log, and use it to change the team's make-up. |
How Discus Understands TeamsDiscus uses a unique extension to DISC theory to broadly describe teams in terms of their Direction, Communication, Stability and Productivity. From these four core factors, it's possible to derive a detailed and thorough exploration of the personality-related features of the team and how it performs. |

The Challenge of Leadership
Team leadership brings its own set of challenges, and Discus recognises this by providing an extra level of sophistication. It can report specifically on the leader's style, creating specialised relationship reports describing how that leader will interact with other team members.
