Project Rescue Lessons with Craig Erhorn
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most Workday project failures don’t come from configuration — they come from people capacity, leadership alignment, and missing accountability. In this episode, longtime project manager and rescue specialist Craig Erhorn shares what really goes wrong behind the scenes and how to fix it before it shows up in go-live risk logs.
Craig breaks down the patterns he’s seen over decades of implementations: executives who sponsor in name only, teams stretched to the limit, and timelines built on assumptions instead of workload reality. He also shares his own journey from customer to independent consultant, and why specialization and visibility are the keys to a sustainable consulting career. If you manage projects in the Workday ecosystem — or want to — this episode is packed with practical takeaways.
