SDI®  - Strength Deployment Inventory®

The SDI® - Strength Deployment Inventory Tool® was developed in the US by Dr. Elias H. Porter,  to make the benefits of Relationship Awareness Theory available to everyone. The SDI® is completed by answering specific questions that look at the following 2 situations: When things are going well and you feel good about yourself When things are going wrong and you are in conflict with others. We have used it successfully in team development, motivation training, sales training, and also in conflict resolution, to name a few, and because of it's accuracy and simplicity is a real joy to work with.

Email Exercise   A great exercise which I use with the SDI® is to look at the emails that people send to each other and then look at their Strength Deployment Inventory® profile. This will really help individuals recognise how to differentiate their emails for different people, which is becoming increasingly important with the amount of email communication that happens these days.   My personal tip is to always put the word "please" in an email, it costs nothing, but really aggravates people if it is missing.   - Graham Price

Conflict and SDI

Increased workload, increased stress, the net result is we are starting to see more conflict in organisations. We have been successfully exploring and diffusing conflict with The SDI® which is great at looking at peoples individual conflict pattern. We also use the Thomas Killman profile which focuses on the choices you make.
