Influencing and managing stakeholders | How to use AEC DISC?? methods in transversal management?
While working on a team or on a project it’s important to understand the complexity of stakeholders that you will interact with and might not manage directly. But what does this mean?
Working in team requires a careful stakeholders’ identification and an analysis of their needs. Then you need to look at their level of power, ability and interest in providing support to your project and how much influence they might have. Following this line of thinking you would intentionally adapt your communication to different stakeholders.
This approach is well researched and documented and a part of Project Management theory but it doesn’t consider different personalities and different personal motivations of these individuals.
The remedy to that we would like to introduce you to the DISC methodology that divides personalities in 4 types of dominance: Red, Yellow, Green and Blue.?
Adhemis propose to individuals and the teams a personalised Arc En Ciel?DISC?? method questionnaire to identify their own type of personality and their motivations. Once the questionnaire is completed by each person, we schedule 1-2-1 meetings between participants and our business coaches to discuss their own profile and its strengths and also receive a general briefing on DISC colour method and its benefits in business. Then we gather the team to work on their “way forward rules” and on how to harness their strengths and communicational preferences to benefit the team and project and how to enable them to read other team members and stakeholders.

1 年?? As pointed out by Adhemis our AEC DISC Method ???????? is particularly suited for cross-functional management, as it cannot rely only on hierarchical relationships. It requires working on communication skills and personal motivation of each participant. The AEC DISC Method precisely enhances these two aspects. Understanding your AEC DISC Profile and those of the others stakeholders brings several benefits. Firstly, it improves the understanding of your own and others' behaviors, thus facilitating communication. Secondly, it provides knowledge about motivation factors, which serve as effective tools for managing non-hierarchical teams. Training your cross-functional managers and project leaders in the AEC DISC Method with Christophe Lugrin, AEC DISC Certified ?? is an additional asset for your organization ! #AECDISC #ProfilAECDISC #DISC
