Saturday Catch-Up: Level up Your Change Practice

It's thrilling to be involved in a profession you love, and to do it well - with strong capability and the knowledge of tools and techniques to apply to the challenges at hand. As a change practitioner it's important to not just love what you do, but to also keep growing and learning. Working as we do in the junction of human behaviour and organisational development, nothing sits still for a minute. In this Saturday Catch-up we look back at posts from the month of August that encourage you to level up your change practice.


  1. Change Management Considerations in the Digital Age published 12 August 2024 covered how with organisations rapidly adapting to emerging markets, change management becomes a critical aspect of successful business operations. Technology now drives most aspects of our professional lives and leveraging innovative tools and strategies for change initiatives is essential. We explored some top considerations for managing change in the digital era, focusing on utilising technology, addressing remote work challenges, and ensuring employee engagement in virtual environments.

  2. Yesterday's post Why Workshop? A Guide for Change Practitioners unpacked interactive change management workshops and explored why they're so effective in supporting a strong change management practice. Workshops are a humble and common technique that can work magic when they're most needed. They can provide a breakthrough in situations where problem-solving may have stalled, and they fuel creativity and interaction. But they also facilitate the development of essential learning skills.

  3. From August 8 2024 Are Change Comms and general Corporate Comms the same thing? explained that change communications is a specialised field that enables impacted groups and audiences to understand the relevant details of upcoming changes. Strong change communication approaches draw heavily on the professional practices of Communications Managers and Specialists. Are change communications any different to general corporate communications. If so, how, and does it matter?

  4. Understanding and motivating employees during transitions is key to fostering a culture of adaptability and resilience within our organisations. Supporting employee engagement effectively can require dedicated resources. However with the help of change management strategies, businesses can effectively address fear and uncertainty, empowering their workforces during times of transformation. In Unlocking the Power of Employee Engagement During Change from 7 August, 2024, we looked at strategies businesses can employ to achieve the right level of resourcing for engaging their employees.

  5. The management of change is an ongoing process: there is monitoring to be done before, during and after the implementation of new ways of working. Embedding change effectively requires a strategic approach that not only initiates transformation but also monitors and evaluates progress continuously. Successful change implementation can greatly benefit from understanding steps for monitoring and evaluating change progress.
