HRIS Operating Model Design

HRIS Operating Model Design creates the operational foundation needed to run Workday and drive continuous value.

Many organisations implement Workday but struggle to run it effectively. Without a defined operating model, they face unclear ownership, capability gaps, and excessive dependence on external support.

We apply organisational design principles to create a sustainable HRIS operating model across HR, Finance, IT, and external partners. By defining team structures, governance mechanisms, and capability requirements, we enable you to manage Workday confidently and continually improve how it supports your goals.
Whether you’re preparing for go-live or strengthening an existing model, we help you build the operational capability to drive ongoing value.

Our Approach.

Workday and organisation design expertise.

We apply proven organisational design principles to HRIS, working alongside our sister company Change Associates, who bring decades of expertise in target operating models and organisational structure.

Client-side experience.

Our team includes consultants who’ve worked in-house running HRIS, so we understand the practical pressures.

Balanced perspective.

We help you strike the right balance between building internal capability and leveraging external partner support, so you maintain control without over-extending your team.

The value of the right Workday operating model.

The right operating model transforms how Workday serves your organisation. It enables faster decisions, reduces external support costs, and builds the internal capability to keep improving long after go-live.

This foundation is what protects your investment and ensures Workday continues to deliver as your business evolves.

If you’re preparing for Workday or looking to strengthen how you run it, let’s discuss how we can help you build a sustainable operating model.
