They had contracted two well-known consulting companies to support sourcing employee data and loading the data to Workday \u00ae through a Teradata data warehouse as well as build ongoing interfaces from 25+ other source systems to an Informatica MDM hub.<\/p><p>Nearly half-way through the planned implementation, requirements had not been finalized for any of the 80+ local HR systems, inaccurate status was reported to senior management, and the chosen strategy would not meet the client\u2019s overall objectives.<\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #0097ff;\"><span style=\"color: #ffaf00;\">What<\/span> We Did<\/span><\/h2><p>We revamped the entire strategy to leverage a global, regional, and in-country team structure to maximize team member contributions, time zones, communication preferences, and local languages to mobilize \u201cboots on the ground<\/p><h4>Developed Data Sourcing Toolkit<\/h4><p>We developed and iteratively improved a Global Data Sourcing Toolkit to ensure that stakeholders around the world had clear and consistent understanding of background, purpose, approach, timelines, expectations, templates, definitions, business rules, and other requirements.<\/p><h4>Streamlined Project Management<\/h4><p>We simplified project management practices so the team could focus on working rather than constantly reporting status\u200b. Examples include dividing schedule governance, so the global team focused on overall timelines while in-country teams focused on their own detailed timelines and activities; improving communication flow to eliminate the need for team members to provide the same information to many people; and streamlining dashboards to focus on the most salient points.<\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Client Results<\/h2><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Leveraging tailored PrO PMO processes and tools, our client increased their project delivery rate from 18% to 79% in just one year.
