On this episode of the Transformation Leaders Podcast — we dive deep into the real meaning of transformation with Nick Atkin, CEO of Yorkshire Housing.
If you think transformation is just a project with a beginning and an end, think again.
In this conversation, you’ll learn:
✅ Why true transformation is about continuous change, not one-off programmes
✅ How culture, people, and customer focus are the real drivers of success
✅ What every leader needs to know about managing challenging stakeholders and building trust-based relationships
✅ Why innovation in sectors like housing is more critical — and more possible — than ever before
Nick brings honesty, humour, and a ton of practical wisdom about leading change in a regulated, customer-facing environment.
