Integrate Everything DiSC® and Insights Discovery® into your talent strategy.
Most organisations run a workshop, file the profiles, and watch the language fade. An integration partnership builds the tools into onboarding, leadership development and how teams actually work, with your own people equipped to lead it.

The best talent leaders don't just train people.
They engineer behaviour change at scale. And they know the pattern that gets in the way. A well-run workshop, good feedback on the day, and then:
- Leadership training gets forgotten.
- Teams don't actually adjust how they communicate.
- The investment doesn't turn into real-world behaviour change.
One-and-done fades fast
Treat Everything DiSC® or Insights Discovery® as a single event and six months later little has changed. The profiles sit in a drawer; the language never reaches the day-to-day.
Built into how your organisation works
An integration partnership wires the tool into onboarding, leadership programmes and team routines, with profiles flowing to every new joiner and your own people equipped to keep it alive.
Build It. Embed It. Scale It.
Every partnership works with both Everything DiSC and Insights Discovery. What changes is how much your team runs internally, and how much I carry for you.
Build It
Internal expertise
For HR teams who want to get certified, upskill in the tools, and lead the rollout internally.
- Everything DiSC Certification or Insights Discovery Accreditation for your team
- Internal facilitation guidance
- Ongoing mentoring as your practitioners find their feet
Embed It
Supported rollout
For HR leaders who want to build in-house expertise while receiving expert support alongside.
- Certification or accreditation for your internal HR team
- Co-facilitation of the early sessions, fast-tracking internal confidence and capability
- Coaching to refine internal facilitation skills
Scale It
Fully managed integration
For organisations who want an experienced partner to oversee the full integration.
- End-to-end design and facilitation: I run the sessions
- Rollout sequenced across teams and new-hire cohorts
- Profile supply and follow-through managed for you
Not sure which model fits? Many organisations start with Embed and shift towards Build as internal capability grows. That conversation is exactly what the scoping call is for.

What does integrating DiSC or Insights actually look like?
Integration means the shared language shows up in the systems your people already move through, not in a binder from last year's away day. Four places the tools earn their keep:
How does ongoing profile supply work?
As an authorised partner for both tools, I supply assessment profiles directly and on an ongoing basis, with the platforms included. Integration runs on a steady supply of profiles, not workshop-by-workshop purchasing. One partner, both tools, profiles on tap.
Everything DiSC®
Profiles on Catalyst™
Workplace, Management, Agile EQ and Productive Conflict on one platform. Colleagues compare styles directly in Catalyst, and new joiners are added as they arrive.
Insights Discovery®
Profiles + the Teams app
In-depth personal profiles, with the Insights app for Microsoft Teams included, so colour energies stay visible in the place your teams already talk to each other.
Volume agreed once, then it flows
For partnerships I agree bundled rates against your expected annual profile volume (new hires, manager cohorts, Insights team wheels or team deep-dives with The Five Behaviours®), so there's no new purchasing conversation every quarter.
Why this matters: when profiles are easy to get, the language keeps spreading. When every batch needs a business case, it stalls.
What are the five steps to integrate DiSC or Insights?
Clarify your goals, select the model, plan the rollout, deliver and refine, then sustain and scale. A structured path from first call to lasting habit, so the language outlasts the launch.
Clarify your goals
Understand how DiSC or Insights fits into your talent strategy, and what should be different a year from now.
Select the right model
Build internal capability, work alongside expert support, or fully outsource.
Plan the rollout
An implementation plan that sequences teams, certification and profile supply for real impact.
Deliver & refine
Facilitate, co-facilitate, coach and adjust as needed so the new habits hold.
Sustain & scale
Embed the habits, keep profiles flowing, and extend the language to new teams as you grow.
Format is flexible: on-site anywhere in Ireland, or virtual across Irish, UK and US time zones. Most integration partnerships blend both.
What a partnership looks like in practice.
One workshop that landed well, an HR Business Partner certified to carry it forward, and a company-wide rollout. Here it is in the client's own words.
I can't express enough how valuable David's partnership has been over the past 18 months. Our journey began in May 2023 when he facilitated a half-day DiSC workshop for our newly formed leadership group. The enthusiastic feedback from the participants prompted us to expand the use of DiSC throughout the company, leading to David certifying one of our HR Business Partners to deliver the program. Through his coaching and ongoing mentorship, David has empowered us to implement DiSC on a larger scale while providing our HRBP with an outstanding professional development experience.

Before I was a partner, I was the HR leader doing the integrating. At 3M I took Insights Discovery from sporadic use to an enterprise operating model. At HubSpot I did the same with Everything DiSC. I built the licence, facilitation and integration models for tools the business already owned, before becoming a partner myself. I know where integrations stall, because I've owned the rollout from your side of the table.
This is the only practice in Ireland partnered in both Everything DiSC® and Insights Discovery®. So an integration partnership isn't tied to one vendor's tool, and the advice on which one fits your organisation is honest.

Two other ways in.
One team, one workshop
Integration usually starts with a single workshop that lands well. That is exactly how the partnership in the testimonial above began. Run one with a team that matters, see the language take hold, then choose a model.
DiSC or Insights? See the difference
Everything DiSC and Insights Discovery solve similar problems in different ways, and an integration commits you to one shared language. The comparison page walks through both, and a short scorecard tells you which way your organisation leans.
What you need to know.
What is a DiSC and Insights integration partnership? +
An integration partnership embeds Everything DiSC® or Insights Discovery® into your organisation's people systems (onboarding, leadership development, team formation) instead of running them as one-off workshops. It combines a rollout plan, facilitation or co-facilitation, practitioner certification for your own team where it fits, and an ongoing supply of profiles. You choose how much stays in-house through three models: Build, Embed and Scale.
What is the difference between Build, Embed and Scale? +
Build means your HR team gets certified and leads the rollout internally, with guidance and mentoring from me. Embed means we work side by side: your team gets certified and I co-facilitate the early sessions while internal confidence grows. Scale means I run the full integration end to end as your external partner. Many organisations start with Embed and shift towards Build as internal capability develops.
Can our HR team get certified to deliver DiSC or Insights themselves? +
Yes. Everything DiSC Certification, run by Wiley, and the four-day Insights Discovery Accreditation, run by Insights, both train HR and L&D professionals to deliver the tools inside their own organisation. Both are available through this practice, and internal certification is the heart of the Build and Embed models. The certification and accreditation pages on this site have details, dates and pathways.
How does ongoing profile supply work? +
As an authorised partner I supply assessment profiles directly, on an ongoing basis. Everything DiSC profiles run on the Catalyst™ platform, where colleagues compare styles and new joiners are added as they arrive. Insights Discovery profiles come with the Insights app for Microsoft Teams included. For integration partnerships I agree bundled rates for your expected annual volume once. Then profiles flow as you need them, without a new purchasing conversation each time.
Which tool should we integrate: DiSC or Insights? +
It depends on your context, and one organisation usually commits to one shared language. Everything DiSC® measures observable behaviour and runs on the Catalyst™ platform with strong team follow-up tools. Insights Discovery® is built on Jungian psychology and produces deeply personal, memorable profiles. The DiSC vs Insights comparison page on this site walks through the differences, and a two-minute scorecard tells you which way your organisation leans.
Can an integration partnership run virtually? +
Yes. Facilitation, co-facilitation, certification support and coaching all run on-site in Ireland or virtually across Irish, UK and US time zones. The platforms do the heavy lifting remotely: Catalyst™ and the Insights app for Microsoft Teams keep profiles visible where your teams already work.
What does an integration partnership cost? +
Most first-year integration partnerships land between €8,000 and €15,000 (US $10,000–$18,000) excl. VAT, depending on model and profile volume. Tell me your headcount and what you want the tools to do, and after a short scoping call I'll send a clear proposal, usually within two working days.
Ready to make it stick?
Tell me where your organisation is: one team with profiles in a drawer, or a rollout you want to plan properly. I'll come back with a clear recommendation covering model, tool and sequence.
