In this episode, I am joined by Hannah Howard-Jones to explore one of the most important questions facing the housing sector today: are housing association boards asking the right questions? We discuss the role of boards, governance, accountability, CEO oversight, mergers, organisational culture, data quality, AI, and why transparency matters more than ever. From scrutinising performance data to holding senior leaders to account, this conversation examines whether boards are getting the information they need, whether they are challenging effectively, and what happens when organisations lose sight of their purpose.

Topics covered: • The role of housing association boards • Governance and accountability • CEO performance and leadership • Board scrutiny and challenge • Housing association mergers • Data quality and decision-making • Artificial intelligence and risk • Resident trust and transparency • Leadership culture in social housing
