organization. This report includes the theory develop by Beblin and tools to assist the business
idea. The report also describes the process of identifying and selecting business idea Therefore,
what I experience and developed skills in the research part. It will discuss process of identifying
as well as selecting business idea as one of the main step is development of team then enlisting

MAIN BODY
Effectiveness of team development by Belbin team role theory while identifying and selecting
business idea
Identification and selection of business idea is important for businesses as it helps them
out in improving their performance. With new business idea, companies can take competitive
advantages and can increase customers’ satisfaction. But there are some steps that need to be
followed by all employees and managers for selecting an effective idea and making it successful.
As a team worker, I want to discuss one of the most important step of selecting business idea and
it is known as: team working or team development.
Key learning while working in a team: I believe that team working plays a vital role when
employees or students are being asked to select an effective business idea. Team working
increases knowledge of all team workers (Rahmani and et.al., 2021). As a team worker, I can say
that team development makes us able in solving problems that we face and it improves our
relations with others. When we were asked to identify as well as select business idea then we
made use of Belbin team role theory. This model explains all 9 roles that team members should
follow in order to accomplish goals of team project. As per the Belbin team role, I was asked to
perform a role of resource investigator. They allot me this role because of my experience and an
ability to explore opportunities. I believe that I performed this role as I focused on improving
relations or developing contacts with team members that is the main strength of resource
developer. I also focused on working with external stakeholders and enlisted some business
ideas. This role helped me in boosting confidence. By working in a team, I found that I am

lacking behind in decision making skill. As team members have difference perceptions and it
became difficult for all of us to take better decision by selecting one of the best idea (Lynch,
Lynch and Clemens, 2018). One of my team members helped me out in solving this problem and
he took decision.
Ways of using utilised knowledge: Development of team is one of the main key of success. We
developed team by making use of Tuckman team role theory and its 4 stages helped out in
active participation. I understood each stage and tried to engage team members. In first stage,
team members agreed on participating after identifying opportunities. In second stage, team
members started arguing because of different perceptions. This stage created number of
problems but my ability of motivating and communication helped us out in solving all problems
and passing on to next stage of norming. Team members helped out in solving disagreement and
by discussing all advantages, we made all members normal (Muukkonen and et.al., 2017). My
ability of empathy and encouraging others made me able in establishing group norms with
consent of all members. It improved our relations and finally, we developed an effective team.
Overall, I can say that some skills that I had, helped me out to the great extent. I learned number
of new things by working in a team and we identified numbers of business ideas.
Areas need to be improved: There are some areas on which we all need to focus on in order to
complete business plan successful. Some areas that I have identified include: time management,
flexibility and leadership. I found that team members took a lot of time in completing this project
and the reason behind it was: procrastination. It is the main barrier and I believe that we all
should focus on prioritising our tasks and need to complete on the same day. Identification of
business idea was not an easy task but my ability of taking decision helped me out in solving this
problem. By working in team, I found that I need to improve leadership skills (Lacerenza and
et.al., 2018). Overall, I can say this team working increased my skills and knowledge to the great
extent.
In addition, we made use of Adair theory that consists of three needs of team, task and
individual. It is believed that all these three concepts can make team members an effective
leader. This model is best known for team development. With this model, team members focus
on accomplishing tasks, development of an effective team by performing individual roles as well
as developing individuals. This model helped us out in improving performance of team and
accomplishing goals of identification of the best business idea.

Extent to which tools helped in clarifying business idea
Idea validation is important while selecting business idea. It can help us out in selecting
an effective business idea and by implementing this, we can accomplish our goals of improving
performance and others. After developing an effective team, it is important for all of us to make
sure that the business idea, we have selected is effective and can help us out in meeting our
goals. We were taught some ways and tools by which we can clarify our business idea and can
know whether it is effective or not. (Amrollahi and Rowlands, 2017). Implementation of
Tuckman and Belbin team role helped us out in clarifying business idea by development of an
effective team. Internet research was one of the other strategy by which we can identify as
whether our selected idea is effective or not. There are some secondary data on which basis, we
can know that whether business idea may help businesses and if it is suitable in market trends or
not. Other than this, scrape forum was other tool about which we were educated. This is an
effective type of tool or strategy that helped us out in checking out industry platforms and
resources. Blogging, landing page, group discussion were some other tools that can help us out in
clarifying or validating business idea (Konietzko, Bocken and Hultink, 2020). Prototyping such
as creation of wireframe was one of the best way or tool about which we were taught. A per this
tool, we can create users experience in precise details and can make suitability of business idea
with users’ needs or experience. This tool can help us out in solving issues.
There are number of reasons, we identify for validating or clarifying business idea. Some reasons
that I found, include: business achievement as per the market need. Clarification and validation
of business idea helps businesses out in identifying market needs and satisfying customers
accordingly. The second main reason of validating idea is to protect against risks. Validation
ensure us that we have selected an effective business idea and by implementing selected idea, we
can protect ourselves from risks that mighty occur in the future (Grimes, 2018). I believe that by
validating business idea, we can increase our knowledge. We can find mistakes that we commit
and we can protect ourselves from such mistakes. On this basis, we can develop business ideas in
an effective manner in the future. It can boost our confidence that is vital for becoming
successful. These approaches made us able in selecting the best business idea from the list of
business ideas. So, I can say that this changed our outcomes.

Overall, on the basis of my experience, I can say that tools for which we were taught, increased
my knowledge to the great extent. It improved all those skills where I was lacking behind. I
believe that it would help me out in the future and will develop my career as well.
Skills developed by research
Soft skills: - according to the research soft skills that I learned through it is very important in
professional field or any other field in workplace. Soft skills analyse a person emotional
intelligence quotient that reflect the relations with other people.
Transferable skills: - these type of skills develop through process of employment and training
that I learn from the research, how should we communicate, problem-solving and teamwork. It
enhances the person professionalism facets from their life (Nedelkoska, and Quintini, 2018).
Advance skills: - nowadays, technology rapidly increases, so as we are dependent upon the
technology. According to the research many corporate sectors adopting the information
communication technologies in their firm. Advanced skills basically refer to the development of
self and up to date via training or with technology.
Emotional intelligence skills: - emotional intelligence is the ability to understand and manage
the behaviour of the other person in the professional field and manage emotions and motivate
myself to wards achieve the goals what I aim to. From research these skills will be more
beneficial for me in interaction with each other and creative a positive environment in a work
place.
Similarities and differences between group / team work at university and the workplace
Team work or group work indicates the collaboration with people to achieve the
objective or goals that they aim to achieve. Team or group work is important part whether it is
university or workplace it indicates the coordination of the people that work together to achieve
their goals and objective. Group work in the university also help those students who are sensitive
and introvert in terms of express their views. What I experience in doing this research is the more
I take part in the research of team and make a contribution the more confident I feel. That will be
helpful in my future career in workplace. In workplace team work will help to solve the issue and
problems that facing in the workplace. Brainstorming is the good opportunities for the team to
exchange their idea to new innovation. The simple difference between university and workplace

is you get paid for the idea you developed and make innovation in the workplace. In unersity you
learn and taught the things that you need to learn and will be beneficial for me to applied in my
future career. University is like a shell in which we learn things for applying to real world that is
workplace.
Similarities in both university and workplace is organizing if I am in team work in university
or workplace there should be a organizing way to perform the work and collaborating with
people. The assignments which give by the university should be submitted on time and the work
assign by the manager in workplace should also be completed in before deadline. Workload in
both university and workplace are kind of similar that seems never ending process. To complete
this process team and individual need to be focused and prepare their mental health stay focused
on the assign work and organized work properly to complete deliberately (Bakhshi, and et.al
2017). Co-worker whether it is university or workplace everywhere the cor-workers and the team
will be like that I have to manage and co-ordinate with them. With my skills that I learn from the
research. Budgeting in both university and workplace are kind of some when a person in
University they understand a little value of money and value of expenses they have. Therefore,
when they come to the workplace budgeting is also necessary in this.
CONCLUSION
Business idea is a concept the used to gain the profit in terms of financial gain through
offered product and services. For entrepreneur business idea is essential to create their own
identity and make profit from it. Intrapreneur put their individually efforts to the business for
creative new innovative idea that would be benefit for the company. Report refers the summarize
key learning source, theory from skills that I learn for new business idea.
