Agent Readiness Workshop
The Agent Readiness Workshop is a half-day working session for up to eight people from your Workday finance and systems team, $4,500 remote or $6,500 onsite. Your team, your tenant, seven dimensions: whether your Workday configuration can carry agents, and what breaks first if it cannot.
Four people each know a quarter of the answer.
No one person holds the whole picture. Readiness sits with the owners of Workday security, business processes, financial controls and the budget: usually four people never in one room about it.
The workshop puts them there, which is why it is a team session and not a seat for one person. Up to eight people, remote, half a day.
You complete the readiness assessment beforehand, and the session is built around where you scored lowest.
Seven modules, on your real configuration.
Roughly thirty minutes each, never a demo tenant.
- 01Agent inventoryWhich agents you can actually use: generally available, limited release or merely announced, mapped to processes you genuinely run, with a named owner for each
- 02Security inheritanceThe security groups agents operate under, the domain policy for every domain an agent touches, and who holds the consumption console domain
- 03Business processesThe trap that generates most of the noise: the BP policy and the step definition must carry the same security group. Plus condition rules that silently misroute agent actions
- 04Master dataAn agent reading a messy supplier master produces confident nonsense. Worktag consistency, orphaned ledger accounts, and whether your spend categories support the decisions you are asking for
- 05Controls and auditWhether your trail distinguishes agent actions from human ones, segregation of duties when an agent both initiates and completes, and what your external auditor will ask
- 06Cost and consumptionReading the rate card properly, forecasting by action type rather than blended average, allocating consumption to cost centers through worktags
- 07GovernanceWho may enable an agent and through what approval, an acceptable use policy short enough to be followed, and accountability assigned to a role, not the platform
A gap list with owners against it.
A scored readiness assessment across all seven dimensions and a gap list ranked by what breaks first, each with a named owner. Plus a draft enablement policy for whoever signs off.
The kit is included, so the consumption model and the contract checklist come with it.
This is a working session on your own configuration, not a training course, and it carries no certificate or Workday credential. Only Workday certifies people.
