When introducing Workday into your organization, how you manage change is critical to a successful transition. While change is most often driven from a technology perspective, a successful change management program should be focused on the impact to strategy, business processes, and people. Increasing user adoption of Workday and improving how work gets done within an organization requires an intentional investment of effort.

Your Challenge
It is difficult to start the project, engage the right people, and find the necessary requirements to drive the value of an enterprise architecture operating model.
It is challenging to navigate the common enterprise architecture (EA) frameworks and right-size them for your organization.
The EA practice may struggle to effectively collaborate with the business when making decisions, resulting in outcomes that fail to engage stakeholders.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
The benefits of an EA program are only realized when all components of the operating model enable the achievement of the program goals and objectives. Many times organizations overplay the governance card while ignoring the motivational aspects that can be addressed through the organization's structure or stakeholder relations.
Info-Tech’s methodology ensures that all components of an EA operating model are considered to optimize the performance of the EA program.
Impact and Result
Place and structure your EA team to address the needs of stakeholders and deliver on the previously created strategy.
Create an engagement model by understanding each relevant process of COBIT 5 and make stakeholder interaction cards to initiate conversations.
Recognize the need for governance and formulate the appropriate boards while considering various policies, principles, and compliance.
Develop a unique architecture development framework based on best-practice approaches with an understanding of the various architectural views to ensure the creation of a successful process.
Build a communication plan and roadmap to efficiently navigate through enterprise change and involve the necessary stakeholders.

Solution Architecture And (Robotic) Process Automation SolutionsAlan McSweeney
Automation is a technology trend IT architects should be aware of and know how to respond to business requests as well as recommend automation technologies and solutions where appropriate. Automation is a bigger topic than just RPA (Robotic Process Automation).
Automation solutions, like all other technology solutions, should be subject to an architecture and design process. There are many approaches to and options for the automation of business activities. Too often automation solutions are tactical applications layered over existing business systems
The objective of all IT solutions is to automate manual business processes and their activities to a certain extent. The requirement for RPA-type applications arises in part because of automation failures within existing applications or the need to automate the interactions with or integrations between separate, possibly legacy, applications.
One of the roles of IT architecture is to always seek to take the wider architectural view and to ensure that solutions are designed and delivered within a strategic framework to avoid, as much as is practical and realistic, short-term tactical solutions and approaches that lead to an accumulation of design, operations and support debt. Tactical solutions will always play a part in the organisation’s solution landscape.
The objective of these notes is to put automation into its wider and larger IT architecture context while accepting the need for tactical approaches in some instances.
These notes cover the following topics:
• Solution And Process Automation – The Wider Technology And Approach Landscape
• Business Processes, Business Solutions And Automation
• Organisation Process Model
• Strategic And Tactical Automation
• Deciding On The Scope Of Automation
• Digital Strategy, Digital Transformation And Automation
• Specifying The Automation Solution
• Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN)
• Sample Business Process – Order To Cash
• RPA (Robotic Process Automation)

Technology is a key enabler for achieving the synergies and savings associated with a shared services delivery model and are important tools for running an HR service center. This is the second session in an HR Shared Services learning series that ScottMadden presented in conjunction with SSON. In this session, we reviewed a range of HR technologies to consider as you plan your shared services operation. We discuss the key functions of different types of technologies, important requirements and tips for evaluating different solutions, and guidelines for estimating technology costs.

Intense competition and slow growth in mature markets have magnified uncertainty and put pressure on costs, just as regulators are escalating their demands. Research shows that CFOs and other senior finance executives believe that their function can play a key role but the ability to impact these challenges depends on levels of maturity and preparedness, which vary widely across companies and industries, as well by sub-functions. Here are the key findings from our research on how enterprises are driving transformation to achieve business impact.
ScottMadden recently partnered with APQC for a complimentary three-part webinar series focused on shared services.
This webinar session, presented by Brad DeMent and Jerred Crosby, partners at ScottMadden, addressed employee engagement, continuous improvement, new service offerings, and expanding the scope of operations.

Turning your Excel Business Process Workflows into an Automated Business Inte...OAUGNJ
Many organizations have evolved key internal business processes built on top of Microsoft Excel. These cross-functional workflows involve several organizational units responsible for collecting business system transactions, modifying this raw data, consolidating, transforming, pivoting and preparing data into a published set of Reports & Graphs – all in MS Excel. Such workflows are a burden to organizations – not repeatable, costly, time-consuming, inflexible and hard to scale, and evolve to become more complex over time. Business critical processes such as financial analysis, operational analysis and revenue analysis are often supported this way. Attempting to replace such systems can be quite daunting and a barrier to replace. The goal of this session is to present an easy to understand methodology and use cases to demonstrate how to move from an operational workflow in Excel to truly automated Business Intelligence.
Best Practices for Enterprise Performance ManagementPerficient, Inc.
A special webinar for Finance professionals
Looking forward to budget season? For many managers, the budget process is a painful, manual process driven by disconnected Excel spreadsheets that are error-prone, static, and generally non-collaborative. The result is a budget that becomes irrelevant as soon as the new fiscal year begins.
A more nimble response is needed. Budgeting and planning should be a continuous, flexible exercise based on rolling forecasts, and supported by systems that can adapt as the business climate changes.
Join us as we discuss how applying best practices and using an automated Enterprise Performance Management system can help intelligent enterprises reap the benefits of flexible budgeting, accurate forecasting and dynamic planning. By implementing best practices for budgeting and planning, you can:
- Make the budget process less painful
- Replace spreadsheets with web forms
- Automate the budget roll-up process
- Create budgets based on key business drivers
- Link strategic goals to operational decisions
- Integrate financial “actuals” with budget and forecast data
- Provide easy, real-time variance reporting
- Access a single version of the truth for financial information
Presenter Emil Fernandez is General Manager of Perficient's national Enterprise Performance Management practice.

In this deck, you will learn the significance of workplace discipline for organisational success. You’ll also learn
• Four (4) workplace discipline methods you should consider
• The best and most practical approach to implementing workplace discipline.

At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

10. PM Understanding its value PM ROI – is dollars, but could be lives and safety. ROI calculations on PM projects are mostly subjective and not always necessary. The "soft" benefits of PM are the most important - The main benefits you get from PM are intangible benefits of strategic value, such as faster reporting, better management information, better decision making and more productive users. Executive sponsorship is key to sell and recoup these kinds of soft, intangible benefits. Sherwood Group Consulting
