How to maximise the value out of your Workday investment
In today’s fast-paced business environment, organisations are increasingly relying on sophisticated cloud platforms like Workday to enable organisational transformation. However, implementing the latest technology without a focus on business process change will not enable business transformation and the associate full business potential. There are some important areas the leaders should consider when they start their workday journey.
Vision and Roadmap:
When you decided to implement the Workday Enterprise Platform, there is a focus on solving specific current business challenges. Often, with only a focus on current challenges, there is a missing piece, which is a vision and detailed future roadmap of business capabilities to enable. Ensuring you have processes in place after go-live to continue to progress towards the business vision and future roadmap will ensure you unlock the maximum value of your Workday investment.

Continuous Improvement and Optimisation:
After the initial rollout, organisations should actively gather feedback from users to pinpoint challenges, analysing whether the Workday platform is being used as intended, and identify areas for enhancement. This ongoing input enables teams to make informed adjustments, optimise system functionalities, and address any pain points. Workday offers a range of tools (e.g. reports, dashboards etc.) that allows you to drill down into details of what is happening to inform the improvement and optimisation decisions.
