What is inside
Written to be used, not filed
- Decision scoring matrix
- Five dimensions and 25 criteria: budget control requirements, hiring velocity and volume, compliance and security, organizational complexity, and reporting and planning. Scores resolve to a position management score, a job management score and a mixed-model indicator.
- Use case scenarios
- Four worked scenarios: a high-growth technology company, a regulated financial services firm, a manufacturer with a corporate headquarters, and a pre-implementation organization.
- Mixed model implementation guide
- Five steps: segment the workforce, define the boundary rules, design unified reporting, configure approval workflows, and train by audience.
- Migration considerations checklist
- What to check before switching in either direction, so the change does not break reporting, security or open requisitions.
- Cost comparison template
- A current-state cost assessment and a projected-state comparison, so the decision carries its own numbers rather than someone else’s.

Who wrote it?
Kinnect's founder, from 15+ years in the Workday ecosystem and 40+ enterprise implementations.
Is it Workday-specific?
Yes. It is written for organizations running Workday HCM, and the terminology (positions, jobs, requisitions, staffing models) is Workday terminology.
Can I share it with my team?
Yes. Pass the file on to Finance, HR and Recruiting. Several of the exercises work best when all three take them separately and compare.
