Workday Rising EMEA 2024
This year, Workday Rising EMEA brought together business leaders, innovators, and Workday customers from across Europe and beyond in Amsterdam. As a proud exhibitor and sponsor, Makse Group was excited to connect with customers, partners, and industry peers to discuss how businesses can leverage the full power of Workday to transform operations, drive innovation, and plan for the future.
Day 1: The People Behind Technology
The event started with inspiring keynotes from Workday CEO Carl Eschenbach and special guest Anthony Joshua, who set the stage for a thought-provoking week. Their message was clear: while technology propels progress, it’s the people behind the technology who make transformation possible.
From optimizing operations to empowering teams, day one highlighted how Workday solutions enable organizations to maximize human potential and achieve tangible results.
Day 2: A Vision for the Future
Day 2 took a closer look at the vision for the future and featured compelling customer stories. Real-world examples demonstrated how organizations are using Workday to streamline operations, break down silos, and achieve long-term business transformation. These stories emphasized the real impact Workday is having—helping customers stay agile, competitive, and aligned in an ever-changing landscape.
From financial management to workforce optimization, attendees left with a clear sense of how Workday continues to evolve to meet modern business challenges.
Day 3: Intelligent Finance for Tomorrow
On Day 3, the conversation shifted to the rapidly changing finance world and AI's transformative role. Workday empowers organizations to build future-ready finance teams with the tools and insights to thrive in a technology-driven landscape. Key themes included:
AI and Automation: Automating repetitive processes so finance teams can focus on strategic planning and analysis.
Extractive AI for Finance: Leveraging data to extract actionable insights in real-time.
Adoption Curve: Preparing teams to embrace AI and automation at every stage.
Future-Proofing the Role of Accounting: Moving beyond traditional functions to focus on decision-making, strategy, and value creation.
The discussion made it clear that AI isn’t a far-off concept—it’s here now, reshaping the rules of finance and demanding that teams adapt to stay ahead.
