Building high-performing teams with Belbin
An organisation is only as successful as its teams
In a complex, uncertain and fast-moving world, teams are the building blocks of organisation health – the key link between individual talent and business outcomes.
Building high-performing teams should be amongst the key priorities of every business.
“It is not the individual but the team that is the instrument of sustained and enduring success.”
Antony Jay, foreword to 'Management Teams, Why they Succeed or Fail' by Meredith Belbin
Successful teams need a team tool
9 out of 10 companies "agree that the problems confronting them are now so complex that teams are essential to provide effective solutions". - EY
Belbin gives everyone a common language to understand how they can best contribute to the team's success. Our reports capture feedback from everyone in the team, so you get the real picture and findings are more applicable than the outset.
This helps you teams take ownership of the results - and the solution, leading to greater engagement, more defined purpose and higher performance.
Managers can allocate work to the right people, establish effective working relationships and harness the team's collective strengths.
Belbin: "completely life-changing for our teams"
"I do a lot of team coaching and at the moment quite a few teams have been asking me to come in and help them to become higher performers. And I found bringing in Belbin has been a fantastic way to look at the teams. To look at how they are conflicting with each other, looking at how they are complementing each other... People have actually said this has been completely life-changing for our teams."
Better staff engagement, harmony and business results
"We chose Belbin as it examines actual behaviour traits rather than your base personality. It seems more accurate as it takes into account other people’s view of you rather than assuming that everyone is going to be self-aware enough to generate accurate assessments of themselves. We also liked the idea of team exercises to learn about each other, and there’s nothing else out there that can do what Belbin does."
Harry Thuillier, Director and Co-founder of Oppo Brothers.
