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. Belbin reports provide managers and individuals with the data and knowledge they need to build and manage effective teams.
"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 Belbin
