The 5 Mistakes That Derail Most Implementations
After supporting 40+ Workday implementations, I’ve watched the same five mistakes play out repeatedly:
• Oversimplifying OR Overcomplicating Cost: $200K+ in rework during the first 18 months post-go-live
• Neglecting Change Management Result: Low adoption, workarounds that bypass the system, leadership questioning ROI
• Underestimating Data Complexity Problem: If you migrate poor-quality data without cleansing it first, you’re building on a broken foundation
• Inadequate Testing Example: In 2025, the City of Seattle faced a lawsuit after payroll errors from inadequate testing
• Ignoring CFO Priorities Impact: Financial reporting gaps, CFO loses confidence, manual processes continue
Every single one is preventable—if you know where your risks are.
