Become a Belbin Team Role Expert
Belbin Train the Trainer – Become a Belbin Accredited Consultant
Barrie Watson, who works closely with Belbin Associates in the UK and XenerGie Consulting Ltd who have helped numerous organisations to bring about tangible performance improvements by applying the Belbin philosophy and technology, conduct the two-day course described below.
The course goes way beyond ensuring users of the Belbin profiling model and Interplace system are fully competent and achieve the required standards to become Belbin accredited. It provides participants with the knowledge and skills on how to use the Belbin model to improve individual, team and organisation performance.
Over the two days, the topics described below are addressed by providing participants with hands-on experience in using the Belbin model and the e-interplace software generated reports.
To ensure each participant receives a high level of personal coaching and is able to access the vast experience of the facilitators, the course is limited to twelve delegates.
This 2-day course will fully brief you in the Belbin Team Role theory and help you learn:
· How teams succeed and fail, using the Belbin Team Role model as a framework for analysis
· How the 9 Belbin team role behaviour types co-relate
· How to select team members according to suitability rather than eligibility, saving you time, money and frustration - no more 'square pegs in round holes'
· How to enhance your team leadership skills.
· How to manage projects using Belbin Team Roles
· How to conduct and produce personal profile and team reports using Belbin E-Interplace
· How to train others in applying this methodology
A major benefit of the common language provided by the Belbin Team roles is the shared understanding it gives to team members and the process it offers for developing action plans for improved team performance.
The course covers:
· An introduction to “Team Roles” – the historical background and development and an explanation of the Team Role terminology.
· An explanation of how Team Role profiling differs from psychometric assessments and the pros and cons of each.
· An explanation of the Belbin e-Interplace for Windows computer software, its capabilities and the advantages it offers over self-scoring assessments.
· Using the reporting facilities of e-Interplace – how the various reports can be used to support personal development, management training, team building and organisation development.
· Using Belbin for selection and career planning.
· An overview of materials, videos and exercises that have been developed to support the learning and use of the Belbin Team Role model.
