The AI Agent Layer for Workday: What It Means for Consulting- with Harish Vashisht
Workday customers are demanding faster implementations, smaller consulting and customer support teams, less manual effort, and AI agents may finally make that possible.
In this episode, I talk with PeopleFlow.io founder Harish Vashisht about how AI tools are automating release testing, monitoring integrations, preserving institutional knowledge, and enabling consultants and support teams to do more with less. His team is building an “agent layer” for Workday that proactively detects issues, executes processes, and reduces the load on administrators and SMEs.
We also explore how these changes will reshape the consulting industry, impact team structures, and create new career paths for Workday professionals. Harish shares candid insights on the skills that matter most, the mindset shift required, and why experimenting with AI is now a critical part of professional growth.
If you’re curious where Workday is heading and what it means for your work, this conversation offers a compelling look into the future.
