AKD Solutions

Yesterday AKD Solutions delivered our first Sports Breakfast Meeting in the “Architects of the Future” series. This themed morning was all about getting big thinkers solving big problems in the sports and physical activity space. I have to give huge thanks to our presenters on the day, Hugh Brasher, Orlene Badu and Geoff Thompson MBE FRSA DL QP JM Thompson, each of whom gave their genuine, authentic, and heartfelt delivery in this space, bringing the room together and stimulating deep and serious thinking about how we collectively have a role to be brave and make change for the better. I also want to thank the people who braved some stormy weather to make it to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park where we held the event, and the AKD team. Without you all this wouldn’t have happened.  The AKD sports division are the new kids on the block but have a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience through our associates who work with our clients. This breakfast meeting was a success, and we will deliver similar events over the next coming year across the UK. Follow us, sign up to our socials, visit the website and watch this space for your invite to the next event. #AOTF #sportsindustry #leadership #collaboration

If you don’t have a picture like this on your feed, it probably means that you missed us at this year’s World of Learning which also means you missed a brilliant keynote by our CEO Akin Thomas and the unveiling of our new stand. To keep up to date with the expo’s we’ll be attending/ keynotes we are delivering … give us a follow. Elaine Gosden thanks for showing them how it’s done 🤭

Change is coming: A Transformative Year for Housing Associations! The housing sector is at a crossroads, facing unprecedented change that demands bold leadership and cultural transformation. New legislation, such as the Social Housing (Regulation) Act 2023 and Renters' Rights Bill 2024, is redefining the tenant-landlord relationship. The message is clear: you no longer have tenants you have customers. This shift requires Housing Associations to fundamentally rethink their organisational culture, focusing on customer-first mindsets and empowering communities. At AKD Solutions, we help leaders embrace disruption, build resilience, and turn challenges into opportunities for growth. From Tenants to Customers 🔑 Key Changes Shaping Housing Associations - Enhanced Regulation: Stricter oversight, Awaab’s Law, and mandatory leadership qualifications. - Rent Reforms: Caps on rent increases (CPI + 1%) and the abolition of “No-Fault” Evictions. - And many more 💡 What’s Next? 2025 brings both challenges and opportunities to reshape housing for the future. With the right mindset and strategic partners, Housing Associations can lead the way in creating sustainable, customer-centric organisations.

The Recipe for Greatness - The AKD Touch The Recipe for Greatness requires core ingredients: A strong vision. The right culture. And, most importantly, the right people. When we think about people in an organisational context, our minds often go straight to employees—our internal team. But what about your external team? The best athletes in the world don’t succeed alone. They have the core ingredients, but then they build a team around them to optimise their performance. A nutritionist to craft a diet tailored to their needs and performance goals. A physical therapist to design personalised routines, considering past injuries, strengths, weaknesses, and desired outcomes. A coach—not just to critique, but to guide, challenge, and encourage them to reach their full potential. Think of AKD as your nutritionist, physical therapist, and coach—all in one. We create bespoke solutions to help you achieve your unique organisational goals. Greatness doesn’t happen by chance but we can help to stack the odds in your favour. If you're ready for the next level, send us a message and let's start the conversation. Photo credits - Ernest Simons ✨

Big trees grow from small acorns and wildfires start from small sparks! Sparking or ‘Stimulating Brilliance’ is what we do; but what does this actually mean? Brilliance is defined as exceptional or unusually good, so to get you to this place we employ unusual or unconventional ideas and methods … but as the saying goes ‘those who follow the crowd usually get lost in it’. We don’t do PowerPoints, we don’t do off-the-shelf courses , we don’t do cookie-cutter eLearning, but we create thought provoking learning solutions that drive lasting change within the companies we work with. Last year we did an amazing project with Yorkshire Housing Housing. We went off script and the results were brilliant. If you're missing that spark and want to learn more about how we can help you stimulate brilliance within your organisation, get in touch. We can’t wait to hear from you!!!
