About The Extended DISC System of Psychometric Instruments for Human Resource ProfessionallsWritten on the 17 September 2013 Create Practical Action Plans The Extended DISC® System is designed to provide users with practical action plans to enhance individual, team and organizational performance. It provides customized and powerful reports on individuals, teams and organizations. However, Extended DISC® is much more than a set of assessment tools. Although assessments have proven to be very beneficial in numerous applications, assessments alone have a limited impact on performance. It is only when the information from the assessments is applied in practice that the value is created. Develop a Framework to Achive our Objectives Extended DISC® provides us with a framework to help us to make the necessary adjustments at the individual, team and organizational level to achieve our objectives. The framework is easy to learn and use, and it enhances performance. Understand our own Behavior Extended DISC® describes the person’s natural reaction mode or behavioral style in different situations. It enables the person to better understand one’s own and other’s behavior, and to adjust one’s own behavior to better suit the situation. It also assists in avoiding unnecessary problems in communication and helps people, teams and organizations to become more successful. Note: The Extended DISC® System is not affiliated with any DISC assessment tools that have been previously available. It is our proprietary system and is only available through Extended DISC™ North America, Inc and its affiliates. Extended DISC®Team Assessment 360?

The Extended DISC® Training Materials The Extended DISC® individual and team reports are very important parts of the system. However, providing the client clear, specific, easy-to-use, and practical steps and action plans for improved performance create the real value. The practical applications are always specific to every individual and situation. How an individual can improve performance is based on his/her behavioral style. As a result, everyone receives individualized action plans to modify behavior for improved performance. The same will take place in organizational, departmental, and team levels.
