Going live on Workday is just the beginning. This blog shares strategies, tools, and best practices to maximize Workday’s value after implementation—across HR, finance, and planning.
Workday go-live day often feels like the finish line. After months of configuration, testing, and training, you're finally live—celebrations, high-fives, maybe even a cake. But here’s the truth: go-live isn’t the end. It’s the start of a new phase—adoption, optimization, and growth.
Too many organizations treat go-live like a mission accomplished, only to find their Workday investment plateauing. Dashboards go unused, business processes stay basic, and users revert to manual workarounds. Sound familiar?

This blog is your post go-live playbook. We’ll walk through actionable strategies to enhance Workday value after go-live, avoid stagnation, and continuously improve. You’ll also meet Proso, a marketplace where companies find trusted Workday consultants to help refine and extend their platform. Let’s make sure your Workday story keeps getting better—long after the go-live party ends.
Here’s how to ensure Workday becomes a living, evolving part of your business—not a static tool.
