Intuit transformed its HR systems and processes to support rapid growth and global expansion. The transformation involved moving from many on-premise HR applications to a single cloud-based system provided by Workday. This simplified and standardized HR processes while reducing total cost of ownership. The transformation required changes to mindsets, skills, tools and communication to gain acceptance. Intuit benefited from reduced complexity, improved scalability, and ability to reinvest savings in growth.

27. Closing Thoughts
• The Learning
• Mindset, skill set, tool set…in that order
• Tradeoffs of fast implementation – get core functionality
• Didn’t emphasize importance of first use experience
• The “Watch outs”
• Too many SaaS providers – complexity of integration; you have to own
• Self sufficiency requires investing in manager capability
• Can’t over-communicate the “why” of the change
• The Benefits
• TCO reduced which has allowed us to invest in other areas
• Complexity reduced
• Positioned to scale globally – for growing “workforce”
28. We are not done yet….
It’s a journey
But it doesn’t look like this!
