Saturday Catch-Up: Top 5 Blogs for 2024

2024 has been a year of significant shifts and transformations across the world, and across organisations. In an environment of constant change, having go-to strategies is crucial for success. Our top 5 blog posts this year delved into the critical aspects of change management, offering valuable insights for leaders, managers, and individuals alike. From exploring effective change management tools and fostering strong workplace communities to understanding the rewards and identifying key traits for successful change, these blogs provide a comprehensive overview of the change management landscape.


In today's Saturday Catch-up, we reflect on the most popular articles among our archive of 253 blog posts published so far: the top 5 for 2024.


  1. Updated on 9 May 2024, Change Management Tools: We're Change Mates with Matae! Opened a series in which we reviewed the Matae offering, Change Workspace. I was excited to be invited to trial and review the Matae Change Workspace tool. And, although we're good mates, I brought an objective review of Change Workspace. This was an interactive review, so readers could experience the features they read about hands-on. For a summary on the entire project, please see The Business Case for Change Tech on our page https://www.agenciachange.com/news/event-resources.

  2. Coming in a close second was Workplace Community and Wellbeing: Fostering a Healthy and Productive Environment. With technology and social interconnectivity being what they are, the concept of workplace wellbeing extends beyond physical health. It encompasses mental, emotional, and social aspects that significantly impact employees’ overall satisfaction, productivity, and sense of belonging. Workplace community is a concept that can enhance employee wellbeing sitting alongside practical strategies for creating a positive work environment. Published 10 May 2024.

  3. Next was a reflection on what it means to work in change management. From 12 March 2024, we discussed that although change management might seem like a mechanical process, or perhaps a machiavellian one, it isn’t just about templates, timelines and plans; it can be an adventure that leads to profound personal and organisational growth. Amidst the challenges and uncertainties, there lies a hidden gem: the sense of achievement that change management brings. Beyond the Tears and Triumphs there's a Sense of Achievement.

  4. Understanding Organisational Change Management: Planned Change from 3 March 2024. We took a closer look at exactly what we mean by managed change, with a focus on planned change, its significance, and key components. The popularity of this article seems to marry with the industry's anecdotal view that we still have a lot of education to do to help our stakeholders understand change management.

  5. Your final favourite for 2024 was Three traits for Change Management Success, published 27 February 2024. When Change Managers and Change Leaders work together to deliver successful change, the resulting partnership can be tremendously satisfying. Organisations can increase their likelihood of success and achieve sustainable results. Effective change implementations require careful planning and a commitment to creating the right kind of environment for the impacted audience to acknowledge, get ready and adapt to the new state of things.

    Change management is an ongoing journey, requiring continuous learning, adaptation, and a commitment to growth. By investigating the tools, fostering strong communities, and cultivating the essential traits discussed in our top 5 blogs, individuals and organisations can navigate change with greater confidence and achieve lasting success. As we move into 2025, let's continue to embrace the challenges and opportunities that change presents, leveraging these insights to build a more resilient and adaptable future.
