Dr R. Meredith Belbin 

4th June 1926 - 6th March 2025

"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

The Gold Standard Team Tool

Belbin Team Role methodology was born from the original big-data research into what makes some teams more successful than others.

Our founder, Dr Meredith Belbin and his co-researchers, discovered nine 'Team Roles', each one being a distinct and predictable cluster of behaviours needed to facilitate team progress.

High-performing teams require a balance of all nine Team Roles. We provide the knowledge and tools to help you apply the theory and see the results with your teams.
