Partner session: KPMG

Workday as the unified HR and Finance platform; client case of a successful Workday Adaptive Planning implementation

 

In this session, KPMG will present the Workday transformation journey of Kuwait Petroleum (Q8), showcasing the value of the integrated Workday platform. Building on a strong Workday HCM foundation, Q8 and KPMG collaborated to successfully implement Workday Adaptive Planning for end-to-end planning and reporting. Workday now delivers more granular financial insights, enables detailed on-the-fly scenario modeling and unites HR and Finance on one unified data platform.

However, this is only the beginning and Q8 is now exploring how cutting-edge technology like Workday Prism can combine Workday and external data to deliver AI-enabled and actionable insights to support the long-term future needs for both Finance and HR.

Q8’s journey demonstrates how Workday as a unified HR and Finance platform helps organizations to drive business decisions, improve performance and foster cross-functional collaboration.

The Right Parts, In the Right Place: Advanced Compensation with TVH & Deloitte

 

With Bjorn Poelman, TVH & Shani Dooms, Deloitte

What does it take to make Advanced Compensation truly work — not just technically, but strategically?

In this session, TVH and Deloitte take you behind the scenes of a real-world Advanced Compensation implementation built on one clear conviction: doing things right. For TVH, Advanced Compensation is a cornerstone of their manager empowerment strategy and their vision of one unified platform — and bringing that to life required close collaboration, best-practice thinking, and the courage to revisit decisions when the situation called for it.

Bjorn Poelman (TVH) shares why quality and getting things right took priority over speed, and what it means to have a partner who helps you make Workday work in your context. Shani Dooms (Deloitte) brings that to life with concrete examples of how that collaboration shaped real project decisions.

If you're exploring Advanced Compensation or want to see what a thoughtful, well-executed Workday implementation looks like in practice — this session is for you.
