Strength Deployment Inventory (SDI)
Course Description
The Strength Deployment Inventory® Workshop is built on the SDI, a assessment that helps people better understand themselves and others for healthier relationships and more productive interactions. During the workshop, learners explore their Motivational Value System (MVS), Conflict Sequence, Strengths, and Overdone Strengths to build Relationship Intelligence—the ability to notice what’s happening in interactions to build more effective relationships.
The in-person workshop is an engaging, insight-rich experience designed for learners at all levels and is especially impactful for people who work closely together. Through exercises, videos, personal reflection, and breakout discussions, learners gain greater self-awareness and practical tools to strengthen everyday working relationships. Delivered in a half-day in-person session, the workshop offers the best in traditional learning and development.
It offers a comprehensive understanding of your workplace personality through four interrelated views: two that reveal what truly drives you at work, and two that highlight your preferred strengths—the behaviors you’re most likely to use (and sometimes overuse) when collaborating with colleagues.

Additional Context
This is not the CliftonStrengths assessment or DiSC assessment. Many may be familiar with these assessments so we want to clarify that this Strength Deployment Inventory® (SDI®) is a different assessment, distributed by Crucial Learning.
