Catalyst™: A new Everything DiSC learning platform

Big News – Wiley has come out with a new engine/operating system of DiSC!

Catalyst™ is a new platform designed to make it easier for organizations to integrate DiSC into their work on an ongoing basis. It connects independent learning and facilitated sessions in a single, personalized space.

Everything DiSC on Catalyst is a game-changer. Your DiSC Profile is no longer just a PDF file – it is in a dynamic, live platform called Catalyst where you can see all of your workmates, how you are similar and different, and how you can work together more effectively. It truly is a “catalyst” for culture change.

Each Everything DiSC on Catalyst learning experience starts with our best-selling Everything DiSC Workplace application. From there, learners can continue their DiSC journey with other more specific DiSC profiles (Agile EQ, Management, Productive Conflict – stay tuned for more applications of DiSC coming in the future!). Wiley’s future vision is to migrate and create more applications of DiSC to Catalyst so that DiSC will become a continuous learning experience. Whether it’s learning to transform conflict or manage with impact, you will be able to continue adding value to your clients and learners over time using Everything DiSC on Catalyst.

The Everything DiSC Assessment – each person is invited to take the online Workplace assessment which is powered and proven by 40+ years of research. This self-assessment informs the content and builds the foundation for an ongoing, personalized learning experience. As soon as the assessment is completed, participants will have immediate access to the Catalyst platform.

Catalyst – an interactive learning platform that gives immediate access to the results of the assessment which allows learners to delve into their style and develop new skills. The platform houses all of the DiSC results for everyone in the learner’s organization which means that it is quick and easy to get real-time tips and strategies about how to build better working relationships with others.

Workplace on Catalyst Facilitation. Brings the learner’s DiSC results to life in an instructor-led experience that engages and educates. Possible to conduct as in-person training or as virtual training. Modules include scripted content, new learning videos, and activities. Short-format, modular design that is easily tailored to any group size or time constraint.

P.S. Catalyst currently works only in English and with English language profiles.
