Raising the Roof podcast: How to make culture change stick

Culture change is something every organisation talks about. But how do you actually make it happen and, most importantly, make it stick?

That's exactly what we get into in this latest episode of Raising the Roof with Dr Helen Bevan.

If you've never come across Helen before, she's spent more than 30 years helping organisations navigate change and improvement, most notably across the NHS. She's worked with leaders and teams right across the health service, helped shape some of the UK's biggest change programmes, and has even been named one of the 60 most influential people in the history of the NHS.

Safe to say, she knows a thing or two about bringing people along on a journey.

Helen joins our host and CEO Nick Atkin for a conversation about people, culture and why even the best strategies in the world can struggle unless people genuinely buy into them.

There's plenty of discussion around psychological safety, building trust, and the everyday behaviours that help people feel confident enough to speak up, challenge ideas and try something new.

If you're leading a team, managing a project, or just wondering why some organisational changes seem to take off while others never quite get out of first gear, there's plenty to take away from this one.

Give it a listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or YouTube.

And if you haven't already, make sure you subscribe to Raising the Roof wherever you get your podcasts so you don't miss the rest of this season.
