In many organisations, teams are formed according to established structures, job roles and long‑standing working relationships.
While this approach is familiar, it may not always provide the optimal mix of strengths required for new projects, change initiatives or strategic challenges.
Belbin offers a clear, evidence‑based framework for understanding the behavioural contributions individuals bring to a team.
By focusing on these strengths rather than hierarchy or job title, organisations can assemble teams that are better balanced, more collaborative and more capable of delivering results.
Whether you are forming a new team or refreshing an existing one, a Belbin‑informed approach helps ensure that each individual’s strengths are recognised and used effectively. It can reduce friction, improve communication and support a more agile, adaptable way of working.
This webinar will outline how Belbin can support effective team formation, offering practical guidance for those new to the model and valuable insights for those seeking a strategic refresher.

Belbin is taught and used by organisations worldwide. Why?
It is a practical tool for self-development and building high-performing teams. It is based on a decade of research, studying teams to understand why the succeed or fail. And we've been refining and updating it ever since.
Managing difficult working relationships is key to ensuring team success.
Belbin Team Roles can help by providing a common language and framework for understanding individual behaviour and strengths. By identifying individuals' preferred ways of working, Belbin Team Roles can help to reduce misunderstandings and conflicts between team members.
Teams are the critical link between strategy and success.
However, team work is difficult.
During this webinar we will start with the question 'what does a team need?' and look at how using Belbin - the gold standard team tool - can help increase the performance of teams.
Once you have agreed the team objective, and you all know what it is you need to achieve, the next step is to allocate the right work to the right people.
We know that a successful team needs access to all nine Belbin Team Roles, but which of these behaviours does each team member have as a strength? Where can you best use them? Where are their weaknesses? What other talents might they be able to develop for the good of the team?
James is known for his How To Build Winning Teams Again And Again trilogy.

When teams are under pressure, pack mentality prevails. When collective anxiety becomes intolerable, teams try to counter it with dysfunctional coping mechanisms.
These strategies might offer short-term relief, but they ultimately sabotage group dynamics and performance.
So what happens when this damaging behaviour flies under the radar? How do we identify and address self-sabotage in our teams?
