3 Case Study Procedures PeopleKeys In order to really understand how to apply DISC in Business Consulting situations, you will be introduced to case studies. You will be given graphs and required to create reports for factious individuals using PeopleKeys Case Study Notes In this section, perform an analysis of the situation the individuals in the case studies are facing. Please make notes on the key elements of the case. Action Plan Development This section is where you will gain practice applying the information which you developed in your case study notes by formulating your own Action Plan. Take the issues raised in the scenario into consideration, and apply your knowledge of personality styles, the information from PeopleKeys reports, and skills from your consulting experience. Each of these will likely have a role to play as you develop your action plan. Case Discussion Notes In this section, you ll listen as Dr. Sandy Kulkin and his team as they provide an in-depth analysis of the graphs, and their suggestions for the Action Plan for each case study. We encourage you to take notes as you listen so you will gain the maximum insight possible. Using this approach, you ll have the benefit both of developing your own analysis and of gleaning from ours. The final step is to compare your Action Plan with that of the presenters to identify areas in which your plan might possibly be improved. Some individuals prefer to develop a bulleted Action Plan, with each of the items being a specific point. Others prefer to develop a narrative Action Plan. There is no correct method, and both are acceptable approaches to the consulting situations you may face. We have used both methodologies in developing the action plans in this course.
