How BELBIN helped 'Sugar Rush' take the cake?

Team Sugar Rush! The baking wizards are three time champions of the IBL - International Baking League. Their CEO Rimi is determined to win it this year as well. She realises, however, that this year will be very different, because she has a whole new team who come with a whole new set of challenges.. "I'm worried" she says to Lily, her People Officer.

Lily : "I understand Rimi. Firstly,

this team is lacking in new ideas. Secondly, no one seems to be challenging

anyone here. I mean, we need a 'Devil's advocate'. Third, we need someone who can

polish the edges..

Rimi :"There's a longer list. Let's get cracking with transforming this team's performance. Have you been able to reach Dr Ramsay - our partner in improving Team performance? His expertise in Belbin team Roles has helped me always. Can you get him to meet us asap?"

On a bright Tuesday morning ,exactly a year ago, Rimi &

Lily paid a visit to Dr Ramsay.

Rimi : "I need to win the IBL this

December, Dr Ramsay. You've got 6 months"

Ramsay : "Well, why don’t you

first tell me the challenges your team is facing?"

Rimi :"Let me jot them down on your whiteboard..”

Ramsay : "Perfect! Have you got the Belbin Team Role Profiling done for all your team members? That’".

Rimi was overjoyed this Christmas! The IBL was once again

conquered by her team! She called Dr Ramsay to thank him.

Ramsay : "Don’t thank me! Thank

your team! Like I always say, “NOBODY IS PERFECT, BUT A TEAM CAN BE.”

Rimi : "We have a meeting with

Richard our Chairman, and the entire IBL team, next week. He wants to know how we

turned the tables. He wants to hear from the team. I want you to be

there."

Ramsay : "Certainly, Rimi. Look

forward to meeting Richard, and listening to 'Team Sugar Rush to boast

their victory!”
