Your Expert Advocate in a Sea of Complexity.

You’ve made the massive decision to implement a new core HR platform like Workday. You have an implementation partner ready to go. But who is sitting on your side of the table? Who is there to be your internal champion, your expert translator, and your quality control—ensuring the system you get is the system you actually need?

That’s where we come in. The Smythe Group does not perform full-scale implementations. Instead, we provide Implementation Guidance, acting as your dedicated owner's representative. We’ve been in your shoes and we’ve seen where implementations go wrong. We help you avoid the common pitfalls before they happen.

Our Approach:

• Vendor Management: We help you manage your implementation partner, ensuring they adhere to best practices and stay on schedule. We speak their language and can challenge assumptions to get you the best outcome.
• Design & Blueprint Review: We review every architectural decision, from your security model to your business process maps, ensuring they are built for long-term scalability, not just short-term convenience.
• Risk Identification: We identify potential risks in data migration, integrations, and configuration before they become costly, time-consuming problems.
• Go-Live Readiness: We help you prepare for a successful launch through rigorous testing oversight, cutover planning, and change management strategy.

The Outcome?

‍Peace of mind. With The Smythe Group as your guide, you can be confident that your multi-million dollar investment is being maximized and that you’re building a system that will serve your organization for years to come.
