Advisory

HR Technology Evaluation & Roadmap

Independent, structured evaluation of your HR technology stack using a proven framework that goes beyond "does a platform have a product" to ask whether it's truly ready for an organization at your scale and complexity. Including the discipline to recommend against consolidation when the evidence says so.

What we deliver

  • HR tech stack review & vendor fit analysis
  • Structured consolidation evaluation framework
  • Build vs. buy vs. consolidate decision support
  • HRIS roadmap design & prioritization
  • Practitioner-led solution discovery: opportunities we've already built, sized for your context
AI · Illuminate

AI-Forward HR Operations

Practical adoption of AI-native features and intelligent process redesign across your HR technology stack, with the guardrails and ROI math that leaders can defend. The honest truth about AI in HR is that most organizations are sitting on far more automation opportunity than they realize. The opportunity hides in the manual steps buried inside integrations, in the approval chains still running on email, and in the reports that get rebuilt by hand every cycle. We find those opportunities, size them, and build automation that runs without ongoing intervention.

What we deliver

  • Use-case prioritization with ROI sizing before any build begins
  • Workday Illuminate Agents and Orchestrations configured for your workflows and data model
  • Automation that replaces the manual steps hiding inside integrations, approvals, and reporting cycles
  • Governance and guardrail design across prompts, data access, and policy boundaries
  • Handover documentation so your team owns and can maintain what we build
Recovery

Program Rescue & Independent Assessment

Troubled HR technology programs rarely fail for one reason. By the time a sponsor asks for a health check, the original scope has drifted, the tenant has accumulated shortcuts, and the relationship between the client and the implementation partner has eroded. We assess all three layers independently, tell you the truth about where the program stands, and give you a recovery plan that the business can actually execute.

What we deliver

  • Independent diagnostic of program health, tenant configuration, and delivery approach
  • Root cause assessment that goes beyond schedule slippage to the decisions underneath it
  • Candid evaluation of whether the current implementation partner relationship can be recovered or needs to change
  • Scope, priority, and timeline reset with a plan the business can execute and defend
  • Stakeholder and sponsor re-alignment to restore confidence and decision-making momentum
  • Ongoing advisory through the recovery to keep the program on the revised track
Fractional

Managed Advisory & Fractional HRIS Leadership

Not every organization needs a full-time Workday architect or HRIS director, but every organization needs the function designed correctly from the start. We have helped a significant number of clients build their HRIS organizations from the ground up: defining the right roles, team structure, governance model, and operating cadence based on where they are today and where their roadmap takes them over the next two to three years. For organizations that need ongoing senior HR technology leadership without a full-time hire, we also serve as a fractional practice lead, embedded in your team and available when decisions need someone who has seen the problem before.

What we deliver

  • HRIS organization design: roles, team structure, governance, and operating model built for your scope and roadmap
  • Fractional HRIS or Workday practice lead embedded in your team and governance structure
  • Roadmap ownership, vendor evaluation, and platform decision support
  • On-call advisory for escalations, unexpected issues, and decisions that cannot wait
  • Steering committee and executive representation on HR technology matters
  • Independent oversight of implementation partner and vendor relationships on your behalf
  • Quarterly architectural reviews to keep your tenant, integrations, and team practices in good health
