Where are you?

Every HR technology decision sits somewhere on a journey. Tell us where you are, and we'll meet you there.

01 · Deciding

Choose your platform.

Independent, structured evaluation of your HR technology stack using a framework that goes beyond “does the platform have a product” to ask whether it is truly ready for an organization at your scale and complexity. Vendor fit analysis, build vs. buy vs. consolidate decision support, and a roadmap your business can defend at the board level. Including the discipline to recommend against consolidation when the evidence says so.

What we deliver

  • HR technology 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
02 · Building

Land your platform.

From phased Workday deployments to integration architecture, custom Extend apps, security model design, and reporting that turns your data into decisions. The same senior practitioners who scope your work deliver it; we do not hand you off to a different team after the SOW is signed. When you are partner-led, we sit on your side of the table.

What we deliver

  • Tenant strategy & business process redesign
  • Phased deployment & adoption planning
  • Advisory on partner-led implementations
  • Security model design & remediation
  • Workday integrations: Studio, Cloud Connect, EIB, Orchestrations, and Web Services
  • Workday Extend custom apps, reporting, Prism Analytics, and cloud data warehouse design
03 · Reassessing

Reset your platform.

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 the business can execute and defend.

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
04 · Operating

Operate your platform.

Not every organization needs a full-time Workday architect or HRIS director, but every organization needs the function designed correctly. We help you design the HRIS organization, embed as fractional senior leadership where it pays back, and bring AI-forward operations that replace the manual work hiding inside your integrations, approvals, and reporting cycles. The honest truth about AI in HR is that most organizations are sitting on far more automation opportunity than they realize.

What we deliver

  • HRIS organization design: roles, team structure, governance, and operating model
  • Fractional HRIS or Workday practice lead embedded in your team and governance structure
  • Roadmap ownership, vendor evaluation, and platform decision support
  • AI-forward operations: Workday Illuminate Agents and Orchestrations configured for your workflows and data model
  • Automation that replaces manual steps hiding inside integrations, approvals, and reporting cycles
  • Quarterly architectural reviews, on-call escalation support, and executive representation
