Workday Rising Recap: Pete Tiliakos Joins Jon Reed of Diginomica
In the final hours of Workday Rising 2024, Jon sat down with analyst Pete A. Tiliakos for an unscripted show review. Tiliakos has a focus on HCM, payroll and the future of work, so the podcast leaned towards those themes - and, of course, the unavoidable reckoning with AI-related news as well.
Topics include:
- Why payroll modernization matters,
- Workday's Extend strategy and sometimes deliberate approach to innovation,
- Why AI in HR is a potent issue, and what we learned on the show floor, and in conversation with Workday execs.
- Jon also discusses his Rising post on "should you rip out your ERP/HCM for AI."
