Training needs in any organisation reflect a set of core organisational requirements blended with complex sets of individual needs that vary from employee to employee.
McZoom can work with you and your organisation to:
- Describe the goal for the company, department, team and/or individual.
- Determine the gap between the current picture and the planned goal.
- Develop the right training solution: an "off the shelf" or custom designed training intervention.
- Define benchmarks to highlight progress and achievements for individuals and groups.
- Devise a built-in measurement system for you to track the application of learning after the training.
- Use Belbin Team Roles and Skills Deployment Inventory team and self awareness assessment tools to uncover learning needs.
Dr Meredith Belbin defined a Team Role as:
"A tendency to behave, contribute and interrelate with others in a particular way."
Discovering Team Roles
Meredith’s work at Henley Management College identified nine clusters of behaviour, termed Team Roles. Each Team Role has its particular strengths and allowable weaknesses, and each has an important contribution to make to a team.
When you complete the Belbin® Self-Perception Inventory you will receive - among other reports - a ‘fingerprint’ of your Team Role preferences. Very few people display characteristics of just one Team Role. Most people have 3 or 4 preferred roles, which can be adopted or avoided as the situation requires.
Belbin® Team Roles improve self-knowledge and understanding among individuals and teams. Team Roles depict a current behavioural pattern - a snapshot of your behaviour at one time. Preferences aren't fixed, since many factors can influence behaviour, whether a new job, promotion or circumstances outside work. To recognise these changes, you should look to complete Belbin® Self-Perception Inventories throughout your career.

The Skills Deployment Inventory provides proven, measurable communication skills that dramatically increase the effectiveness of nearly any employee development and manager training program.
The effectiveness of an organization depends on the quality of its relationships.
The SDI is the flagship inventory of a suite of tools based on relationship awareness — a flexible and reliable learning model for accurately understanding the motivation behind behavior. Unlike other “personality tests” and “type” models, Relationship Awareness Theory reveals why individuals act the way they do.
The SDI is a common sense, non-judgmental way to:
- Reduce the costs of workplace conflict and turn it into a positive force for change.
- Make business and personal relationships more productive and rewarding.
- Discover your own relating style and potential sources of conflict for yourself
- Look beyond other people’s “behavior” to recognize and understand the motivation behind it.
- Encourage non-confrontational conflict management and conflict resolution in the workplace.
Skills Deployment Inventory tools can be used to enhance:
-
Leadership training
-
Supervisory skills
-

-

-
