Who joins MD2MD and why?
MD2MD membership is primarily for you if you are an ambitious and enthusiastic operational business leader with tens or hundreds of staff. If your role is to inspire a team to achieve an ambitious vision through a clear and coherent strategy, if you make decisions (like employing someone) worth £10k – £100k regularly, and if you have a salary bill in excess of £1M.
Members tell us that MD2MD membership:
- Increases their confidence, competence and motivation.
We all know that such mindset factors are critical in enabling you to be the very best leader you can be – and as a result your business being the best it can be too. - There is a real commercial return on investment.
If you fit the profile you only need membership to enable you to make one better £10k+ decision or to engage £1M+ staff such that they perform 1% better and there is a return. - Can have a life/career changing impact.
When fellow members challenge your fundamental assumptions and cause you make a critical strategic decision. It might be an insight that simply helps you ensure your business is in the right place with the right offer at the right time. It could though be a ‘lightbulb moment’ that causes you to make a big decision that delivers a step change result for you or your business.

No-quibble guarantee of satisfaction and other details
- Business leaders are inevitably demanding with high expectations. Rightly so! MD2MD works hard to ensure all our members are satisfied with all our services all the time. But we are not perfect and sometimes don’t achieve the high standards we set ourselves and our members expect of us. If ever anyone is less than 100% satisfied we endeavour to put it right. If ever a member feels we have failed to deliver then we ask them to tell us and if we can’t put it right and satisfy them we will refund their monthly subscription in the hope we can part company remaining professional friends.
- All meetings are held online except as indicated. MD2MD runs a reduced schedule to meet demand over holiday periods.
- The first subscription stated is current and has applied since 2020. The subscription will increase to the second figure on 1st October 2022 for new members and on 1st January 2023 for members as at 30th September 2022.
- All subscriptions stated are monthly and the figures are before VAT. All invoices are payable on 1st of each month by any of the methods stated on the invoice. MD2MD subscriptions include all content, facilitation and meeting catering. Venue costs, dinner and accommodation where applicable are payable directly to the venue.
Full details of all the membership plans and associated terms are also available in a downloadable PDF available via the link below.

MD2MD offers a wide range of workshops, webinars and meetings online and in-person to meet the varied requirements of our members. For a summary of each service please see the descriptions below and click the link for more details.
Leadership Challenge Board
Leaders like you discuss in private how best to deal with real business leadership challenges. A chance to develop your thinking on leadership as well as sound out how others would deal with a challenge you face.
Speaker-led workshops
Interactive workshops led by world-class practitioner speakers of a standard rarely available to business leaders in a small group.
Speaker webinars
Speaker webinars are similar to workshops but have unlimited attendees and are not fully interactive. There is no requirement to have cameras on and interactivity is via the text chat box.
Sponsored speaker briefings
The speaker for sponsored briefings is not funded by your subscription. The speaker is a volunteer or is being paid for by a sponsor with an interest in promoting their angle. Which they are briefed to do appropriately and in the context of adding value to demonstrate their worth!
Trending topics discussion groups
Trending topic discussion groups are an ad hoc chance for members to meet, share and discuss best practice in an area of shared interest with other members with an interest in the same subject.
Special interest groups
Special interest groups (SIG) bring together members who have a common interest based on sector, on role, on ownership model, according to a common challenge or indeed by any ongoing shared interest which members are keen to discuss with others like them, addressing or considering addressing the same situation.
LeaderFest
An opportunity for you to hear first hand the leadership thoughts of some very experienced and interesting business leaders whilst discussing business with a hundred or so business leaders like you.
Retreat to advance
A chance for you to take time out at an inspirational venue. Consider where you and your business might be in 5, 10 or even 100 years. Where are you heading, why you are heading there and how will you get there?
The ethos of MD2MD is one of continuous improvement or (in Japanese) Kaizen. However great a leader and however great our business, we can always do even better. As leaders we have a duty to strive to raise our game.
Our membership options and meetings are designed to support and reinforce this process for business leaders and their senior management team.
Read more about Kaizen applied to leadership development here.
