Companies that use the SDI get the benefit of enhanced communication whether they do formal communication training or not. People remember the results of the SDI and quickly adopt the terms to describe what's happening between individuals and groups. Statements like "That was a really Green presentation." or "I think this is an Unwarranted Conflict for us." are sure signs that Relationship Awareness is taking hold and improving relationships. Communication training with the SDI often focuses on the preferred style of sending and receiving messages and the importance of understanding the internal filters that will be used to evaluate messages. The training also builds in time for people to practice giving feedback to each other and to learn how communication needs and strategies may be different in conflict situations.
