Job Aids, Governance, and Getting People to Actually Adopt Workday, with Kendria Countee
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Kendria Countee didn't start out as a consultant. She started as a Workday customer, walking into an optimization project that turned into a full system relaunch. That experience, including the governance work, change management, integrations, and hard-won lessons, eventually led her to found Abnorma Logic, a firm focused on helping organizations get real value from their Workday investment.
In this conversation, Keith and Kendria dig into the challenges most Workday teams face: how to tell the difference between activity and actual progress, why job aids rarely get adopted without leadership support, what it feels like to spot organizational risks before leadership is ready to hear about them, and how cross-functional governance can make or break a team's ability to move forward. If you support Workday, lead a team that does, or are still waiting for the ROI your implementation promised, this one is worth your time.
