Seasonal
Project Planning the Christmas Party
by The Belbin Team, 01 Dec 2025
Co-ordinator
The reason why everyone knows what they’re doing and feels up to the job at hand.
Plant
The reason why you’re all going to some quirky location you’ve never heard of.
Resource Investigator
The reason why everything is coming in under budget. Who knew they were owed so many favours?
Implementer
The reason why everyone will turn up at the same time, at the same venue, with their transport home already booked. Organised 23 diaries, opinions and sets of dietary requirements – with a little help from the Teamworker and the Specialist of course!
Completer Finisher
The reason why everyone will be arriving at 7pm on the 22nd, not the 12th. You'd have thought the team would have learned their lesson after last year’s fiasco.
Teamworker
The reason there is still going to be a party after the ‘fall-out’ from the Plant and Monitor Evaluator during the ‘brain storming stage’. Is also handling the political ramifications of the Secret Santa with aplomb.
Specialist
The reason everyone found their way to the Plant’s off-piste restaurant. They love London so much, they spent their evenings learning ‘The Knowledge’. Handy.
Shaper
The reason the whole thing came off. There was just too much Christmas cheer at the planning meeting, and things were heading off-schedule. They all blamed the sherry trifle.

Happy Christmas!
