Our ‘invitation only’ community for industry influencers and leaders, marketing professionals and trailblazers.

At CMDi, we understand the value of listening, discussing and sharing ideas with experienced individuals to better understand the challenges and opportunities that shape the sector we operate in. With this in mind, we have created a panel of leaders and influencers from within the built environment sector and related membership organisations.

This carefully selected, invitation-only group, have a wealth of knowledge to bring to the table. Everyone in the group has the opportunity to discuss issues related to their own business and the wider sector and benefit from a unique platform that encourages open, blue-sky thinking, without the restrictions of a more formal research platform.

Everyone on the panel has been personally invited to join and the community includes CEOs and Directors from some of the sector’s leading trade associations and professional bodies, MDs and Marketing Directors from construction companies, merchants and manufacturers, and cutting edge journalists from industry leading media groups.

The Panel is entirely voluntary, non-commercial and formed as a think tank, ideas factory, and research resource – it is a network of great people, doing great things in the sector.

It has been created to help leaders plug into the hot topics driving change, but also ask specific questions of the community that are at the heart of shaping their own futures.

We’ll be asking questions at industry level and providing a platform for leaders to explore specific topics they want answers to, for example:

  • What does the membership organisation of the future look like?

  • When will the connected home become a reality?

  • How will the new role of building safety manager change communication needs?
  • How can I shape my brand or offer to meet the changes being introduced by the digital golden thread?
  • What do I need to do to meet new competency demands of the building safety bill – in a way that helps me differentiate my business?

Benefits:

  • Access to the CMDi Industry Panel to ask questions, bounce ideas, share best practice, highlight issues that need addressing or require support
  • Ask a question for The Panel to consider up to 4 times per annum – use the response to test and validate ideas and/or share on social media
  • Showcase your latest news, reports, campaigns, thought leadership content when you want to
  • Request shared resources and content assets
  • Join an annual workshop and brainstorm panel, suggest topics you’d like to discuss in a safe, open, secure, non-commercial environment
  • Seek research inputs about your business or brand from Industry Panel individuals and their own audiences/customers/staff
  • Request or join virtual strategy sessions and workshops that CMDi will be running

Confidentiality:

All questions and inputs are vetted for suitability by the Panel Chairman and all questions and any following discussions are kept strictly confidential and, where appropriate, anonymous.

Individuals who join the panel can be as visible or as anonymous as they like – this is an ideas platform, not a promotional one.
