We plan, deploy and manage Workday for organisations that expect it done right, working as an extension of your HR, Payroll and Finance teams.
We work for you. With the SI, with Workday. Focused on you.
Free Integration Health Check - ten dimensions of risk
Free Adaptive Planning Health Check - system of record, or export button?
Free AI Readiness Pulse - are you ready to switch Workday AI on?
Free WSP Value Check - are you using what you paid for?
One team, start to finish: first business case through to deployment, optimisation, support, AI readiness and staffing. Senior throughout, independent by design, and accountable for the outcome at every stage.
Services before sales. We’d rather tell you what you actually need than sell you what we’d like to.
Advisory, Deployment, Optimisation, AMS and Staffing, across every Workday domain, in 35 countries, for organisations from 500 to 150,000 employees.
Whatever stage you’re at, the engagement fits one of five service lines, spanning every Workday domain and the whole lifecycle.
Design, build, go-live: named consultants who stay through delivery.
And we can staff any of them. Light-touch assurance through to full programme leadership. You choose the depth.
Phase Zero, business case, vendor and partner selection, roadmap.
Config review, new SKUs, process redesign, ROI realisation.
The system is rarely the issue. It’s the readiness, data and design underneath it.
Five packaged offers, each built around a problem clients hit again and again. Buy a defined outcome rather than a day rate.
Ideas are everywhere. Activation is rare. We assess readiness across your key decisions and build the foundations before you switch features on.
Recommendations are everywhere. Delivery is rare. We turn WSP reviews into tested, delivered change in your tenant.
Data is everywhere. Proper leverage is rare. We connect HR, Finance and Operations in one Adaptive Planning model built around your business.
Integrations are neglected. Optimisation is rare. We manage your full landscape end to end for a fixed subscription or price.
Most AMS is a ticket factory; log, triage, escalate, repeat. We do it differently: the same team that knows your tenant owns the issue end to end, so nothing gets stuck in a handover.
Five diagnostics, ten minutes each, no sign-up: AI Readiness Pulse, WSP Value Check, Integration Health Check, Adaptive Planning Health Check and Support Health Check.

“Lucas Kennedy’s experience significantly reduced delivery risk. They anticipated our needs and added to the design before we knew to ask. They led us to a solution that suited us and made the most of the product’s strengths.”

Pre-decision, mid-implementation, optimising, or preparing for AI. Tell us where you are and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Pre-decision, mid-implementation, optimising, or preparing for AI, tell us where you are and we’ll give you a straight answer.
We have no software to resell, so the advice stays honest. We’d rather tell you what you actually need than sell you what we’d like to.
We sit on your side of the table, with no software to resell. Fixed price for a defined piece of work, or time and materials while the question is still forming.
Our leaders have sat on the client side of a Workday programme, worked inside Workday partners, and worked for Workday themselves. That’s judgement built from every seat at the table.
“The advisory team gave us honest, direct guidance. They didn’t oversell the technology.”
Professional Services
Recommendations are everywhere. Delivery is rare. We deploy Workday end to end, working as one team with our Advisory practice, with resources across the UK and EMEA and expertise from every side of the table — customer, partner and Workday itself.
We lead delivery end to end — design, build, integrate, test and go-live — working as one team with our Advisory practice, so the strategy you signed off on is the delivery you get. Backed by consultants who’ve deployed Workday from every seat: as the customer, the partner, and Workday.
Our team spans the UK and EMEA with deep bench strength. Ex-Workday, ex-partner and customer-side experience, certified across HCM, Financials, Payroll, Adaptive Planning and integrations.
“They made calls that cost them time, not us. That’s when we knew they were actually on our side.”
Global Financial Services
Go-live is the start of the return, not the end of the project. Most partners are gone before real value shows up.
We do the work with your team, not to one side of it. Fixed price for a defined optimisation, or day rate while the backlog is still forming.
At Jupiter Asset Management, after Adaptive Planning.
“They made sure our finance team genuinely owned it after go-live.”
Mid-Market Business
Support from the people who built it. UK-based with nearshore support from Madrid, and it already knows your configuration.
Named consultants and agreed service levels, monthly. Scale the service up or down as your tenant and your team change.
Measured across engagements.
“When I call, I speak to someone who already knows the answer.”
Technology Company
Sometimes you need people rather than a project. Fifteen years of Workday recruitment, and a network we use ourselves.
Permanent, contract or FTC placement, or day-rate augmentation. We flex to how you need to hire.
Permanent, contract and FTC across UK, EMEA and North America.
“I worked closely with Lucas Kennedy during the Workday Services Programme at bp and they helped me hugely. They were proactive, they cared and we ended up with 35 of the team via LK recommendations. Truly excellent!”
