According to a recent McKinsey Global Survey on digital strategy and investments, nine in 10 C-level and senior leaders say their organizations have pursued at least one large-scale digital transformation in the past two years. This underscores the importance of technology in helping organizations meet the rapidly evolving needs of their workforce and business.
“Whether it’s planning for the unknown, supporting employees in new working models, or embracing technologies that deliver the insights needed to drive the business forward, our customers have navigated an immense amount of change over the last few years and technology has played a critical role in enabling them to adapt,” said Pete Schlampp, chief strategy officer, Workday. “With customer service as a core value, our focus has and will always be on supporting our customers through innovation to meet their needs today and in the future.”
