we believe that the success of any organisation depends upon the quality
and effectiveness of the working relationships between its people.
Conflicts that arise between people in the workplace can damage a healthy
work environment and affect productivity. By providing people with
powerful insights into the motivation behind behaviour, our
Strength Deployment Inventory® (SDI)
Training
Programme helps build better relationships both professionally and
personally.
"Research shows that Managers can typically
spend up to 40% of their time attempting to deal with, and resolve,
conflict in the workplace - more often than not their attempts at
resolving conflict are ineffective - how much does that cost the average
organisation?"
 The SDI is a common sense and
non-judgmental way to:
 |
reduce the costs of conflict and turn
it into a positive force for change |
|
|
make business and personal
relationships more productive |
|
|
discover your own "relating style" and
potential sources of conflict for yourself and others |
|
|
look beyond other people's "behaviour"
to recognise and understand the motivation behind it |
"The SDI process graphically clarified our
various operating styles and its legacy is a common language that
makes it easier for us to discuss our ways of being. The
course was delivered with ease and humour and our SDI Facilitator
kept the session pacy; just how we like it. A very worthwhile
day."

The SDI
is based on Relationship Awareness Theory® - a valid and reliable learning
model for accurately understanding the motive behind behaviour. Unlike
other ‘personality’ theory models, Relationship Awareness helps to reveal
why individuals act the way they do. Equipped with these
insights, people can immediately start improving their professional and
personal relationships.
The SDI is a dynamic and
powerful way of looking at human relationships that aids in building
communication, trust, empathy, and effective, productive relationships.
What our
SDI Training can do for you:
|
|
Identifies what motivates every member of your team |
|
|
Shows
the triggers that will get people into conflict and starts
conversations about how to avoid this happening |
|
|
Identifies the most
productive response to maintain the team focus |
|
|
Offers a non threatening way to communicate with each other |
" Completing the SDI together as a group
was extremely interesting, revealing and occasionally amusing!
After just one session I have a much better
understanding of my colleagues, who would work well together, how to
approach difficult situations with each person differently and, more
importantly, they have a better understanding of me!"
Jillian Shedden, Director
Knockhill Racing Circuit

A Non-threatening Approach
SDI training seeks not to change you as a person
but to give you a better understanding of the range of behaviours you
could choose and of the likely impact of these on others, so you become
more productive with more people in more situations.
The SDI is a researched and validated
self-discovery resource that is a great way to communicate about
relationship issues in a non-threatening way.
By using the SDI you will learn that there is no
such thing as a personal weakness – just an overdone strength!
Clients tell us that one of the main strengths of
the SDI is its ability to create a non-threatening environment where
people can discuss differences in personality and approaches. By doing
this, people find ways to work more productively with each other,
dramatically improving team effectiveness and communication.
Why is motivation important?
Your behaviour will often be variable, depending
on the circumstances and what you are seeking to achieve. It is this
variability that gives us the opportunity to learn and develop more
effective choices of behaviour for the future and the opportunity to
change unproductive behaviour. However, your underlying motivation remains
constant and is therefore a more reliable reference to work with when
seeking to understand intentions.
Managing conflict effectively
Frustrated customers, difficult suppliers, angry
colleagues - inevitably as we relate with others, there will be potential
for disagreement. When you use the SDI, it becomes much easier to resolve
conflict before it becomes overwhelming or causes irretrievable damage to
personal or organisational relationships.
By attending one of our SDI Training Courses you
will see how people change their priorities and their focus during
conflict and how we each use behaviours that can be totally misread and
make the situation worse. As people gain more SDI awareness they are more
able to recognise and manage conflict more effectively. That’s why it’s a
great method to build and maintain individual and team performance.
