How TCM Works

Four straightforward steps.

Step 1: Each Team Member Completes an Individual Belbin Report (DIY)

Belbin® Team Role reports are a valuable tool for exploring an individual’s collaborative strengths and weaknesses. The report helps to raise self-awareness and increase personal effectiveness.

To receive a Belbin report, an individual first completes a self-assessment. That person then invites four to six of their colleagues to complete an observer assessment. The results of the self-assessment and observer assessment are compiled into a final report. Each team member will receive their own individual report.

Step 2: A Team Collaboration Map is Compiled and Provided​

Once all team members have completed their report, a Team Collaboration Map will be created and provided to the team. The TCM will enable the team to see, at a glance, how each member rated against all nine of the Belbin Team Roles. It will also allow the team to identify any gaps or surpluses in the Belbin Team Roles.

Step 3: 1-Hour Online Tutorial​

With their Belbin report and TCM, team members will review a 1-hour eLearning tutorial. The tutorial will provide key concepts required to best understand and apply their Belbin reports and TCM. It will: 

  • Educates team members on how to read their Belbin report and TCM
  • Explores team dynamics that can occur in teams that have unbalanced Team Roles
  • Demonstrates how better operationalizing Belbin Team Roles can improve team effectiveness and results

Step 4: Self-Guided Team Workshop​

After all team members have completed the eLearning tutorial, a team workshop (est. 2 hours) will occur to help members apply what they have learned. Self-guided discussions will help a team to:

  • Create a shared understanding of each team member's strengths and weaknesses and how the team is impacted by them
  • Understand the team's current state, including what is working well and where adjustments need to be made to
  • Assign tasks based on team members' roles and interests, to increase personal and team effectiveness
  • Problem-solve how to address issues when they arise and make this approach long-lasting
