Everything DiSC Catalyst combines four traditional Everything DiSC applications into one assessment. Trainers & administrators can provide the additional content as they want:

1. Team / Workplace Culture: Everything DiSC Workplace  - this content focuses on helping learners understand their behavior based on DiSC. Then, they will take this knowledge and learn the DiSC Styles of their team or others in their organization. This content is perfect for team-building or improving workplace culture.
2. Emotional Intelligence - Everything DiSC Agile EQ: Emotional Intelligence helps teams increase their effectiveness. This program focuses on helping individuals learn what emotional mindsets they frequently use and how to identify when they need to stretch towards other mindsets when the situation calls for it.
3. Everything DiSC Management: The Management section of Catalyst helps Managers develop better relationships with their direct reports. It covers topics such as directing and delegating with different DiSC styles.

The greatest issue that any training encounters is time for the training and knowledge retention. Everything DiSC Catalyst solves both of these issues by modularizing the training and report content into smaller pieces from what is offered in the traditional applications.

Today, it's unlikely that teams and organizations have the time to commit to a 4-hour or full-day training program. With the increase in remote work teams, Everything DiSC Catalyst refactored the facilitated training programs so a DiSC Workshop is broken out into smaller sessions that last for less than 90-minutes.

As an example, Everything DiSC Workplace was broken out so it now includes 5 modules that range from 25-minutes in length to 75-minutes. Rather than schedule a team to do a single DiSC workshop, trainers now have the ability to schedule the training over a period of weeks or months. In this layout and format, a DiSC Workshop becomes more of a learning journey than a singular training event.

This type of learning also helps with retention. Research has shown that the more interactions we have with new information the higher the probability is that a learner will retain what is being taught.

Everything DiSC Catalyst's cost is determined based on two factors:

1. The number of individual learners that will have access to the platform
2. How much content they will have access to

These tools are produced through an administrative system called EPIC, and the assessments are issued based on a specific amount of EPIC credits. See current price for EPIC credits.

This chart shows the number of EPIC credits that are needed to get each piece of content:

As an example, if an organization wanted to provide a team of 25 individuals access to Catalyst with the content for both Everything DiSC Workplace and Everything DiSC Agile EQ, they would need to purchase 625 EPIC Credits to issue both the platform and the content for each learner. 

There are two ways to get started:

1) Organizations that want to train their own employees using Catalyst must have access to the administrative platform called EPIC. Center for Internal Change provides ongoing support in both using these tools and helping administrators successfully use the EPIC platform.

2) Organizations interested in having a Center for Internal change conduct a 2-hour DiSC Training on Catalyst can get started here.
