What are the reports about?
A detailed, individual Global DISC report helps your staff to identify their own personal international challenges. Team leaders receive clear group reports as a starting point for further team development.
Because Global DISC takes into account both, the individual personality of the participant and the specific communication patterns in other countries, it is far more effective than the common cultural comparisons.
Add one or more country profiles to each evaluation to highlight specific communication gaps:

Global DISC For Your International Sales Success
How people buy products and services differs from country to country. This is because the norms and behaviours vary - from building trust to conversational style to decision-making. The detailed Global DISC Reports with added country profiles provide individual support for each of your sales staff to successfully shape their sales communication across national borders. And this is independent of your existing sales system or your company's sales philosophy.
Make your sales team a winner in the global market!
Self-awareness
Your employees gain a deeper insight into their personality type and their cultural background. They understand how both aspects influence the course of sales conversations with customers.
International Competencies
International competencies are based on cultural intelligence. This involves changing perspectives and understanding the logic behind why people think and act differently. Your employees learn to recognise personality traits of their counterparts and existing cultural differences in the business environment. They become more aware of the needs and priorities of their international customers and adapt their sales communication accordingly.
Expansion
With their newly gained knowledge and the strategies that can be implemented immediately, sales teams can access more foreign markets with confidence and in a goal-oriented manner. Once the assessment reports of your sales staff have been created, further country profiles can be added any time.
Field of application: Leadership development
Global DISC For Global Leaders
In leadership development, Global DISC provides an added dimension that enhances your leaders' effectiveness in a culturally diverse business environment.
Self-awareness
The individual Global DISC Report deepens self-awareness. Based on their personality type and cultural background, leaders gain insight into their behavioural patterns. They recognise how their personal tendencies influence their behaviour in specific global leadership situations.
Cultural Intelligence
Global DISC supports executives who work with multinational teams. The individual report offers many starting points and strategies for more effective communication in an intercultural environment. Leaders more quickly recognise the different needs and priorities of their team members and develop their skills to lead people from different cultural backgrounds.
Expansion
With their newly gained knowledge, your clients will be able to access more foreign markets with confidence and in goal-oriented way. The assessment results can be compared with more country profiles again and again.
Field of application: Team Development
Global DISC For Diverse Teams
People from different backgrounds think and work in different ways, which can quickly lead to conflict and friction in a team. With Global DISC, you can measure the cognitive diversity of a team and uncover the deeper levels of team dynamics. Ensure that your clients realise the potential of their diverse teams.
Self-awareness
Each team member receives an individual report to deepen self-knowledge. Team members gain insights into their tendencies, preferences and patterns of behaviour at work based on their personality type and cultural background. They learn more about how to interact with others and receive actionable strategies to improve their interactions.
Cultural Intelligence
Cultural intelligence is about shifting perspectives to understand the logic behind why people think and act differently. Culturally intelligent team members use the differences to find new ways of working together and solving problems, which significantly increases engagement and overall results. This is diverse team development at its best.
Cognitive Diversity Index
The Global DISC Group Reports show the cognitive diversity index of a team and reveal its blind spots. The larger the gap, the greater the potential for success or failure of a diverse team.
Transparency And Psychological Safety
As part of the diverse team development process, a Global DISC Fast Teaming Passport will be issued to team members, showing each team member's personal and cultural preferences when working together. The aim is to reduce false assumptions and misunderstandings - and significantly improve psychological safety in the team.
Team Leadership
Global DISC helps team leaders better understand the needs and priorities of their team members. At the same time, they are aware of their own tendencies and values when leading others. They thus develop a high level of cultural intelligence to effectively lead and mentor people from different cultural backgrounds.
Onboarding
If future team members take the Global DISC Assessment before they arrive, the team-building process can be greatly facilitated. Everyone can be prepared to work together effectively from day one and appreciate the skills they bring even more.
Field of application: International assignments
Global DISC For Expatriates
Selecting and supporting suitable candidates for international assignments can quickly become a costly challenge in companies. Global DISC supports your clients in many ways:
Cultural Adaptability
Global DISC measures personality traits required to deal well with intercultural challenges. The test result reliably predicts how flexibly candidates respond to personal and professional challenges abroad or when communicating with foreign business partners.
Country-specific Strengths
Global DISC identifies the strengths and risk areas of individual candidates with regard to up to 50 different target countries. The assessment compares a person's profile with the cultural profile of a selected target country. Candidates can be assigned to specific countries and receive concrete advice on how to use their individual strengths and overcome possible cultural weaknesses.
Expat Partners
Global DISC helps identify potential family risks of an overseas assignment. By offering each applicant's spouse or partner to take the Global DISC assessment as well, you can assess how comfortable the partner will be in a particular country. This knowledge can help provide the best support from day one.
Onboarding Abroad
By having prospective team members complete the assessment prior to the arrival of the new employee from abroad, the team-building process will be greatly facilitated. With the Global DISC Fast Teaming Passport, colleagues in the receiving office can prepare to work effectively with the new colleague right from the start.

Expert Opinions
"Global Disc is a powerful tool for intelligent leaders to leverage personal and cultural differences for competitive advantage, to enable trust and to build high-performing teams at home and globally."
“Diversity is the greatest asset or liability. Ignoring their cultural and personal differences in a multicultural world destroys performance, leveraging them makes organisations profitable and sustainable. Solutions created before globalisation are not designed to address the people challenges of the 21st century, that is what Global DISC™ was created for. It is the ideal solution to create an inclusive environment supported by measurable and repeatable results."

The Global DISC online assessment is carried out via a personal link and takes only a few minutes. Afterwards, participants receive an individual report (42 pages with an integrated 40-minute online course). Individual results can be compared with other people, teams, 50 country profiles and 16 classic DiSC styles.
The different personality types have been studied for centuries, which has led to different categorisations of behavioural styles. The book Emotions of Normal Peoplepublished by William Moulton Marston in the 1920s, forms the theoretical basis for the widely known DiSC behavioural model. DiSC is still used in many organisations to assess behavioural styles and preferences of teams and leaders.
Global DISC was developed by Csaba Toth in the UK to meet the new challenges of the fast-paced, globalised 21st century. By taking into account cognitive diversity and cultural intelligence, Csaba has taken the standard DISC process to the next level.
Global DISC explains how personality type (standard DiSC) AND cultural background influence individuals, teams and leaders in any (international) business situation. It combines the latest data from international practice with scientifically validated research based on cultural intelligence into a practical framework that helps to identify and optimise behaviour in a culturally diverse, globalised work environment.
Global DISC has helped thousands of individuals, Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, universities and entrepreneurs work more successfully in a globalised, culturally diverse world.
Global DISC is suitable for any employee with international professional contacts, e.g. sales staff, expatriates, multinational teams as well as executives and entrepreneurs with global business relationships.
Most intercultural models were developed in the last century. Almost all of them use averages of test scores obtained many decades ago and focus exclusively on people's country of origin/nationality.
Wir wissen jedoch heute, dass der kulturelle Hintergrund eines Menschen nicht nur durch seine Nationalität definiert ist. Wir alle gehören mindestens 15-20 verschiedenen kulturellen Gruppen an, z. B. Nationalitäten, Ethnien, Regionen, Geschlechter, Generationen, Berufe, Unternehmen usw. – und sie alle prägen unser Verhalten und unsere Werte, die sich von den durchschnittlichen nationalen Erwartungen stark unterscheiden können.
Deshalb ist Global DISC so viel mehr als nur ein interkulturelles Modell. Global DISC erklärt, wie Persönlichkeit und kultureller Hintergrund – über die Nationalität einer Person hinaus – die Art und Weise, wie wir handeln, fühlen und denken, beeinflussen. Es hilft, Verhaltensunterschiede in einem kulturell vielfältigen, globalisierten Umfeld zu erkennen, so dass effiziente, produktivere Arbeitsbeziehungen gefördert werden können.
