How do implementation's fail? 

The success of a Workday® Student implementation is determined by an institution's level of preparedness before it even begins.  

When failures do happen, in our experience, it's the result of inadequate pre-implementation planning and unrealistic expectations.

This is so easily avoidable when you have access to experienced counsel who is on your side. 

 

You've heard it before.

Failing to plan is planning to fail. And in the world of Workday Student implementations, it happens often.

​​

But it doesn't have to be that way. 

Explore the preparation activities institutions can conduct before implementation to start the process on sure footing, or if already started, re-direct the process onto a solid path.
