Put SDI Insights to Work

The Strength Deployment Inventory® (SDI®) online assessment helps people understand what drives behavior and apply those insights to everyday working relationships through the Crucial Learning Platform.

Understand Motives,
Strengths, and Conflict

SEE WHAT’S
BEHIND BEHAVIOR

The SDI helps people see beyond what coworkers do to better understand what may be driving their behavior. Participants gain personalized insights into motives, strengths, overdone strengths, and how their motives can change during conflict.

That gives people a more useful way to interpret differences—especially when conflict or disagreement makes it easy to assume the wrong intent—reducing unnecessary friction that can slow collaboration and decision-making.

The Assessment is
Just the Beginning

KEEP SDI INSIGHTS
WITHIN REACH

SDI results are available through the Crucial Learning Platform, giving participants an ongoing resource for understanding themselves and the people they work with.

Instead of receiving a report and moving on, people can revisit their results as relationships and situations change, compare insights with coworkers, prepare for interactions, and explore team dynamics.

USE SDI INSIGHTS IN EVERYDAY INTERACTIONS

The Crucial Learning Platform gives individuals, teams, and leaders practical tools to apply SDI insights in everyday work.
