The Doctor Is In: Is It Time for a Workday Tenant Checkup?
Tenants drift after go-live, workarounds pile up, features go unused, and configuration stops matching the business. Covers how a rapid health check diagnoses what's really slowing things down and creates a clear path forward.

Who Owns Your Tenant? The Governance Gap Nobody Plans For
Post-go-live, ownership gets fuzzy. HR, IT, and outside partners all touch the tenant, but no one is clearly accountable for its health. Covers how a lack of governance leads to drift and what a workable ownership model looks like.

Backfill, AMS, or Build In-House? Staffing the Post-Go-Live Gap
Peer discussion on supporting Workday after the implementation partner leaves, including what a 500–5,000 employee organization can realistically staff internally, when consumption-based support can outperform a fixed retainer, and key-person risk around Studio and integrations.

Trouble with the Curve (TM)
Peer discussion on when to shift priorities from Stabilization to Adoption and Optimization, how to know when the time is right, and where to take your Workday environment next.
