DISCO support organisations to understand human, team and system flourishing. We start by understanding the employee experience through the voice of the employee.

SHAPE is a robust, scalable platform that goes beyond employee engagement. SHAPE Global identified the workplace conditions and behaviours that most impact work performance and productivity through extensive literature research over 4 years, including statistical analysis and development of multiple indices, they proceeded to structure all this into a simple to use platform.

The SHAPE survey maps the human side of work across 12 key dimensions. Built on understanding how people feel, work, and interact as individuals, within teams, and across organisations.  

DISCO turns this employee experience (EX) data into meaningful insights with a whole of system view. We provide extensive practical reports not just unpacking the data, but identifying the patterns showing up across the layers of information, not isolated scores. These patterns allow you to distinguish between:

• Individual strain vs systemic failure

• Capability gaps vs structural misalignment

• Cultural issues vs process-induced behaviours

This is what makes insights meaningful, not just interesting.

We also provide recommendations that land and last, based on our decades of experience in this field. They are grounded in lived employee experience and a coherent organisational design logic. They feel credible to employees (“this reflects reality”); actionable to leaders (“we know what lever to pull”); avoid over-indexing on culture when structure is broken; and avoid blaming individuals for systemic design flaws.

SHAPE data tells you where the organisation hurts. Organisational design tells you why. The ecosystem view DISCO applies tells you what to change, in what order, and to what effect. When these come together, organisational design stops being theoretical, and EX stops being descriptive. Together, they become a practical engine for insight, direction, and sustainable transformation.
