Publisher John Wiley & Sons, Inc., US, has acquired Inscape Holdings Inc., a provider of DiSC-based assessments and training products that develop critical interpersonal business skills. Wiley paid $85 million to purchase all of the stock of Inscape, the majority of which are held by investment funds controlled by New York City-based Sentinel Capital Partners.
The acquisition will enable Wiley to capitalise on both companies' content, assets, and relationships, enhance its global reach, and move more aggressively into digital delivery to the growing workplace learning and assessment market.
As Inscape's central product, the DiSC offerings are available in both digital and print versions. More than one million people use DiSC assessments in 30 languages each year. The majority of customers choose DiSC delivered through Inscape's EPIC platform, which is optimised for efficient and customised product/feature creation and includes a proprietary process enabling rapid translations. Inscape's DiSC assessment offers enhanced value with its online assessment-delivery system, its high-quality customer experience, its superior discoverability and market-leading position, and its ability to customise, personalise, and adapt the DiSC model so that customers continue to choose Inscape's version over others.
