You may be asking yourself

How can I help individuals understand themselves better?  

The Insights Discovery system will provide the basis to answer these questions and more. Insights Discovery can be used in a variety of different applications including team development, leadership development, sales, recruitment and selection. An individual profile is generated from the results of a quick 25 question questionnaire. We then provide feedback either at one to one sessions or more usually at a group workshop. We are a provider of in-house workshops based on the Insights Discovery System for a wide range of organisations both big and small in the public and private sectors across the UK. Our clients include Vodafone, Cap Gemini, Which Magazine and the NHS. Everything we do is bespoke and so the Insights workshop will be tailored to your exact requirements.  Our range of Insights based services is large - contact us now to discuss.

The goal of the Insights Discovery workshop is to get to know each other better and raise each person’s self awareness and awareness of others to enable them to further increase their effectiveness at work through better teamwork, communication, influence, problem solving and mutual understanding.

The workshop will be devised drawing on extensive previous Iridium experience in designing and facilitating Insights workshops for organisations similar to yours.  Iridium’s Insights consultants come with extensive hands-on management experience and so our approach is very pragmatic.  The workshop will be fast paced and fun and will require a high degree of participation.  The emphasis throughout will be on learning tools which can be applied immediately.  It is assumed that the Insights Discovery questionnaire will be completed online by each participant in advance of the event  and that all participants will be willing to share their type with the rest of the group at the event.

The Insights Discovery workshop will include:

Introductions with a difference. Each person introduces themselves with a quick flip charted description illustrated with photos from a large selection  that we provide.

Introduction to the four colour energies. Quick  overview and self scoring by each participant. Using the Insights card  game and introducing the Insights blocks. (This gets participants thinking  in terms of the four colour energies that are tha basis of the Insights system and provides face validity for when  they receive their reports).

Introduction to the three dimensions  of personality and how they map to the Insights system.
Review of introversion – extroversion, sensing –intuition, and thinking-feeling, with examples and a couple of quick exercises to show difference in action. Reflection on how this can be utilised at work to promote better communication, mutual understanding and thus better results.

Introduction to the report and team wheel. Explanation of the content and various charts in the report. Reflection time to read the report and then discussion with a partner about the impact of the report in terms of personal and team development. Review of the team wheel and the implications for the team of the mix of personalities within it.

The preferred ways of communicating.  Each participant explains their preferred way to be communicated with

Adapting and Connecting Spotting different types: The participants practice spotting and influencing Types different to themselves Communicating and influencing types different to ourselves:
Participants have the opportunity to put all the learning together to plan   and practise a conversation with a person   who in the past they have found challenging.

Action planning. Each participant plans how they will continue their
personal development.

 Completion of this Insights Discovery team workshop will enable participants with:

• Greater understanding of their own operating style and how this may affect their performance at work.
• Recognition of and appreciation for differences with others thus  reducing conflict, enabling change and enhancing team interaction.
• Recognition of individual contributions to the team thus enhancing creativity and the problem solving ability of the team.
• Ability to see things from other perspectives, valuing diversity and so, enabling teamwork to flourish.
• A framework for better communication both internally within the team and externally, leading to greater productivity.
• A framework of influencing tools to ensure the organisation’s message is successfully articulated and sales messages are acted upon.

Experience shows that teams that have been through the workshop are more productive afterwards. Research has also shown
that self awareness and awareness of others is key for high performance. Every workshop is bespoke and tailored to the organisation’s needs. We can tailor the focus for example to be on communication, influence, sales, leadership or teamwork.

We provide a 100% satisfaction guarantee, you only pay after the event when you are 100% satisfied.

 So, What is the Insights Discovery System?

Insights Discovery recognises and celebrates the fact that each person in an organisation is unique, with different styles, needs and expectations. In these differences are great strengths for the organisation, but how do we recognise and make the best of them?
