The i (Influence) style follows at roughly 28%, then D (Dominance) at about 19%, and C (Conscientiousness) at roughly 18%. These figures come from aggregated global assessment data across thousands of workshop participants and align with findings from Wiley/Inscape’s

Yes, DiSC results can shift — but not as much as people think. Our analysis of over 30,000 leaders reassessed across multiple timeframes shows that roughly 85% maintain the same basic DiSC style (same dot placement on the circle) when retested. What does change are priorities, adaptations, and stress responses. People don’t swap from a

After analyzing 4,127 team workshops delivered between 2022 and early 2026, we can confirm what many HR leaders suspect but few can prove: most team workshops fail to produce lasting behavioral change. Only 34% of workshops in our dataset drove measurable behavior change lasting 90+ days. The top 10% of workshops — those that combined

Manufacturing team workshops that focus on communication and trust directly reduce safety incidents, quality defects, and production delays. When floor workers and supervisors understand each other’s styles, they speak up faster, collaborate tighter, and catch problems before they escalate. The right workshop gives your team a shared language for high-stakes, fast-paced environments where miscommunication costs
