The short answer
Workday Adaptive Planning replaces spreadsheet budgeting with a connected planning model that draws actuals straight from Workday Financials and HCM. The value comes from the modelling and integration design, not the licence — which is where most implementations either succeed or quietly stall.

In detail
What Our Adaptive Planning Consultants Deliver
Every engagement is led by a certified consultant who has run planning cycles in production, not just in a demo tenant. We work to your close calendar and hand the model back to your team fully documented.
- Model design and rebuild — sheets, dimensions, levels and formulas that a finance team can maintain
- Rolling forecasts and driver-based budgeting aligned to your P&L structure
- Workforce planning linked to Workday HCM position and compensation data
- Integration between Adaptive Planning, Workday Financials and source systems
- Board and management reporting, OfficeConnect packs and variance analysis
- Model health checks, performance tuning and clean-up of inherited builds
Engagement Models And Indicative Pricing
- Model health check — two weeks, fixed fee. Findings, risk register and a prioritised remediation plan.
- Implementation or rebuild — typically 8 to 16 weeks depending on entities, currencies and integration scope.
- Managed support — a retained block of consultant days per month for changes, new sheets and close-cycle support.
- Day rate — senior Adaptive Planning consultants from GBP 750 per day; blended team rates on longer programmes.
Pricing depends on entity count, integration complexity and how much of the build your team runs. We quote a fixed scope after a short discovery call.
