Our Methodology
360 HCM delivers independent, client-side program leadership for Workday implementations.
Our methodology is a repeatable control framework designed to protect scope, budget, and timeline while holding implementation partners accountable.
​
We do not replace your System Integrator.
We govern them.
How it Works
Our methodology is built around three principles
-
Clear decision authority
-
Disciplined scope control
-
Predictable delivery
The model works because incentives, authority, and accountability are aligned.
Why
this
works
What we
are
What we are:
-
​Independent, Client-side Workday program leaders
-
Accountable to your executives, not your SI
-
Focused on outcomes, not billable hours or utilization
What we are not:
-
Another implementation partner
-
A shadow PMO without authority
-
A methodology deck without accountability
Our methodology has three phases:
Phase 1: Establish Control
Before build begins, we establish the governance, decision rights, and scope controls required for a predictable Workday deployment:
-
Executive-aligned governance structure and decision rights
-
Clear escalation paths and delivery expectations
-
Firm scope boundaries to reduce downstream change orders​​
​​
Delivery begins with clear authority, stable scope, and defined accountability.
Phases
Phase 2: Govern Delivery
During execution, we provide independent oversight to keep delivery on track and issues visible
-
Embedded client-side program leadership
-
Objective monitoring of schedule, scope, and risk
-
Early identification of issues before they become change orders
-
Fact-based reporting to executives and stakeholders
​​
Progress remains transparent, risks are addressed early, and delivery stays controlled.
Phase 3: Protect Go-Live
As go-live approaches, our focus shifts to protecting outcomes and reducing operational risk.
-
Readiness validation across people, process, and technology
-
Cutover and deployment governance
-
Risk-based decision support for executive leadership
-
Transition planning to post-production support
Go-Live occurs with executive confidence and minimal post-production disruption.
