The Belbin® Experience

85 (p/p ex-vat)

Belbin Team Roles provide the language of teams, enabling people to project and talk about their behavioural strengths and ‘allowable weaknesses’ in a safe, non-confrontational and productive way. They help to compose successful teams, fine-tune existing teams for high-performance, and ensure that each team member’s behavioural contributions are harnessed to best effect. Facilitators from Event Square and Belbin Ireland have combined their experience and expertise to deliver a rich and lasting team development experience. From graduate onboarding programmes to meeting the bespoke needs of more complex leadership teams, Event Square and Belbin offer a blended approach that combines physical, mental and cerebral tasks with Belbin exercises designed to help teams recognise their Team Role contributions and bring to life the characteristics of the nine Team Roles.

* The Belbin Experience begins two – three weeks before your Team Day. Please read below for further details about the process.

Description

Leadership & Team Development with Belbin®

The Belbin® Experience combines Belbin Team Roles with Event Square’s experiential team development activities to help teams understand how they contribute, communicate and work together.

The programme is suitable for leadership teams, management groups, established teams, graduate cohorts and teams working through communication, role clarity or conflict challenges. It can be delivered in Dublin, Wicklow and at suitable venues throughout Ireland.

The Belbin® process

  • The programme begins with a planning call to establish your team development goals and desired outcomes.
  • Each participant completes a Belbin Self-Perception Inventory.
  • Participants can invite colleagues to complete Observer Assessments.
  • The results are combined into individual Belbin Team Role Profiles.
  • A Belbin Team Report is used to explore the team’s collective strengths, potential gaps and behavioural contributions.

Belbin team feedback session

During the Event Square / Belbin session, the team explores how individual behavioural strengths influence communication, collaboration, decision making and performance. The aim is to create a practical, non-confrontational language for discussing how people contribute to the team.

The session can explore:

  • Individual and collective strengths
  • Role balance within the team
  • Communication preferences
  • Leadership and contribution
