"I think we've always been striving to find a way of helping people to work together. When people work in effective combinations they achieve so much more than when they're working alone. But to do that, we need a language, and it needs to be a language which is shared and enables people to communicate with one another."
– Dr Meredith Belbin
Improving business results through more effective and sustainable teamwork.
Our mission is to empower organisations with research-based knowledge, practical tools, and actionable advice, to realise the potential of their teams and deliver results.
Because simply putting together a number of people and expecting them to work as a team is not enough.
Belbin Team Role methodology was born from over 9 years of research into what makes some teams more successful than others.
The research revealed that the difference between success and failure for a team was not dependent on factors such as intellect, but more on behaviour. They identified nine clusters of behaviours that were critical to the success of a team - the nine Belbin Team Roles.
At Belbin, we provide the knowledge of Team Roles via our Accreditation, and the tools (the Belbin reports) for professionals to realise the potential of their teams.
The Research
Belbin provides a science-based, scalable and practical Team Role platform, empowering HR and L&D professionals to fix the problems their Teams face today.
The Belbin reports provide actionable insights to transform the way Teams work together, driving measurable results in both Individual and Team performance.
Belbin Accreditation and the suite of Belbin reports give HR and L&D professionals all they need to help Teams deliver sustainable business results.
