Purpose
This is a workshop, not a webinar or recorded training so you are encouraged to participate. That said, the time is limited so our goal is to cover a key leadership or business topic at a high level, inspire new insights and provoke you to act on them. Our objective is not to provide detailed training or to fully bottom out the application of the ideas to your organisation. We therefore recommend you plan follow up time to review and reflect on the learning, share and debate thoughts with colleagues and decide how best to take forward the insights to realise value in your own organisation. We also encourage you to engage with fellow MD2MD members you meet in this and other meetings. Please contact us if there is anything we can do to support you in taking forward the insights and driving the success of your business.
Joining on time
Please click on the meeting link provided 10 minutes before the meeting start to join the meeting. We will open two minutes before the meeting start time, and will start promptly. We open the room promptly so everyone can do introductions together. To avoid interrupting proceedings, we will close the meeting soon after. If you anticipate that you will be late, please contact us so that we can clear this with the speaker and keep the room open.
Check your Zoom profile
In order to prevent access to meetings by ‘unwanted guests’, we check the names of entrants before admission while they are in the Waiting room. Please use your personal name as that enables all participants to refer to you correctly. If you have space and wish to reference the company, please include it as a suffix in parenthesis.
