Background
A fast-growing global GameTech company, known for its culture of innovation and continuous improvement, wanted to help its people communicate, collaborate, and lead more effectively. Operating across multiple regions made connections and communication more challenging. The goal became about helping people build self-awareness and adaptability to collaborate effectively in a fast-changing, hybrid environment.
The Challenge
The company’s Learning & Development team identified two recurring needs:
- Developing emotionally intelligent leaders who can communicate clearly and flexibly in agile, cross-functional teams.
- Improving team collaboration ahead of project off-sites, where diverse personalities and working styles often clashed under tight timelines. They were looking for a tool that could bring insight and practical action together, something that could help people understand themselves, their impact, and how to adapt to others.
The Solution
The company introduced Discflow Reports across its leadership and team development programmes. The reports were used in two main ways:
- Pre-work for Leadership Programmes
Each participant completed a Discflow Leader report ahead of workshops on communication and leadership agility. The report formed the foundationof each session, helping leaders explore:
- How their natural communication style affected their teams
- What triggered their stress reactions, and how they managed them
- How emotional intelligence enhances adaptability and decision-making
- Facilitators used the insights to guide reflection and peer discussions, turning self-awareness into practical, real-world strategies.
- Preparation for Team Offsite
Teams completed a Discflow Core report before their offsite, designed to strengthen collaboration. During the sessions, participants discussedtheir profiles, shared insights, and explored how different styles could complement one another. The focus was on applying behavioural understanding to everyday moments, feedback, meetings, and creative collaboration, so teams left with a common language and practical ways to work better together.
The Impact
Integrating the Discflow reports into these programmes created a shift in both individual awareness and team dynamics.
- Increased self-awareness: Leaders reported a clearer understanding of how their tone, pace, and approach impact others.
- More adaptive communication: Teams became more intentional about how they interact, leading to more constructive conversations and faster collaboration.
- Sustained learning: Because the reports blend behavioural insight with emotional intelligence, participants continued to use the language long after the workshops ended.
Conclusion
By embedding Discflow into their leadership programmes and team offsite, this gaming company turned self-awareness into a competitive advantage. The result: leaders and teams who communicate with clarity, collaborate with empathy, and perform with greater cohesion, all while staying true to the creative energy that drives their success.
