Workday Adaptive Planning is more than a budgeting tool; it’s the engine behind real-time financial insight and strategic decision-making. But its power depends on how well it’s configured.
Outdated models can:
-
Undermine forecast accuracy
-
Slow down scenario planning
-
Create disconnects between finance and business units around strategic priorities
By refreshing your configuration now, you can:
- Align models with current business drivers and organizational structure
- Incorporate new data sources and integrations (e.g., HCM, CRM, external systems)
- Improve reporting clarity and reduce manual work
- Prepare for a smoother budget season with fewer surprises
