Marysville, OH — February 3, 2026 — Belbin North America today announced the launch of a new Consultant Town Hall series aimed at supporting consultants who want to move beyond individual assessment insight and deliver measurable team-level impact using Belbin.

The Town Hall series introduces new tools, resources, and pricing support designed to help consultants apply Belbin at the team level in a practical, commercially viable way. The initiative reflects a broader shift toward hands-on enablement for consultants working in organizational development, leadership, team effectiveness, and HR advisory roles.

As part of the initiative, Belbin North America will provide participating consultants with access to ready-to-use delivery materials, including e-learning modules, workshop slides, and facilitation guidance. These resources are intended to reduce preparation time and support consistent, high-quality delivery of team engagements using Belbin assessments. The Town Hall series will also outline new consultant pricing and purchasing options, including access to discounted assessments designed to support sustainable margins when delivering team-based work.

“For more than 40 years, Belbin has helped organizations understand how teams actually work,” said Max Isaac, Chief Executive Officer of Belbin North America. “This initiative is about making it easier for consultants to turn that insight into practical workshops and conversations that improve how teams collaborate and perform.”

Beyond the initial Town Hall sessions, Belbin North America plans to provide ongoing head-office support through discussion forums, shared learning sessions, and regular updates as new tools and approaches are developed.

“Consultants are increasingly being asked to demonstrate impact at the team level, not just individual insight,” said Lindsay Lalla, Head of Partnerships at Belbin North America. “This program is designed to give them practical structure and support to do that effectively.”

The Town Hall series includes sessions tailored for both Accredited Belbin Consultants and Non-Accredited Consultants who are evaluating team-focused frameworks. No accreditation is required to attend the Non-Accredited sessions.

A central focus of the series is the introduction of a Belbin training package, a structured, team-level methodology that helps translate individual insight into meaningful team dialogue and improved collaboration. Designed to complement existing assessment tools, the package provides consultants with a clear framework for diagnosing team dynamics and facilitating focused, outcome-oriented conversations.
