Transformation in Motion: Inside Atom Bank’s Next Chapter

A conversation on what continuous evolution looks like inside a digital-first bank.

Join Chris Atkinson, Delivery Coach at Atom Bank, for an insider update on their ongoing transformation journey, where technology, data, and human‑centred delivery intersect.

In this session, Chris will:

• Share how Atom’s ways of working have continued to evolve: what’s changed in delivery, leadership habits, and team dynamics.
• Explore how digital footprints can be leveraged to create automated value stream maps, using data from delivery tools to provide real-time insights into flow efficiency, lead time, and cycle time.
• Discuss the challenges and enablers of scaling change in a regulated financial environment.

Atom Bank continues to push boundaries in more ways than one, from building a cloud-native bank to pioneering a four-day week and strengthening its technology leadership. This is your chance to hear what happens behind the headlines and what continuous evolution really looks like.
