SDI 2.0 Training: Strength Deployment Inventory - Preventing conflict.

SDI 2.0® is a tool to strengthen the relationships internally in the organisation and thereby increase productivity and profit.

SDI 2.0®, Strength Deployment Inventory®, is an excellent tool to help prevent and deal with conflicts and improve relationships and team work. SDI is developed by Dr. Elias H. Porter and is based on his Relationship Awareness Theory — a learning model that helps identify and understand the motivation behind our behaviour.

Typical situations where insight in SDI can be of use is when It’s a challenge to get the team to go in the same direction or the start-up of a new team, a multicultural team or multisiteproject which gives challenges, because of differences in perceptions of agreements, or when there are communication problems between employees or departments.

SDI preventing conflict in teams

The better we understand employees motivations and what moves them to conflict in the first place, the more likely we can prevent conflict in the future. The prevention of conflict consistently over time will definately lead to higher productivity and prosperity in business.
