-
Belbin team profiling for a Brighton based social marketing organisation.
I even took advantage of this funding myself in 2010.
Product Perceptions Limited used the grant to fund Team Development. Yvonne Taylor says:
'Using Belbin has helped our business to understand existing team strengths and given us some useful tools to address skills gaps. Belbin has helped our staff appreciate the different strengths of individuals within the business. Applying the Belbin approach to develop a job description for a new role within the business has also helped us to focus on and verbalise the key criteria for the role.
Gary is an excellent moderator and has an in-depth knowledge of the Belbin approach which has helped us to understand and apply the Belbin findings very quickly and effectively within our business'
