Leading transformation programmes is tough, executive sponsors are demanding, stakeholders require constant attention, risks have a habit of appearing from nowhere, and there’s always resistance to change.

Facing into all this becomes immeasurably easier when you’ve got the best people on your team. Which is precisely what Underscore Project Resourcing brings, the best people for your team.

A new way of resourcing Workday projects

Underscore’s founding Directors have been leading transformation programmes since 2006 and Workday projects since 2013. We’ve also held operational accountability for Workday in production. In this time the demand for Workday talent has consistently outstripped supply. Which is why we built a proactive resourcing practice in 2016 to identify and assess the best Workday programme, project and support talent in the market and create a virtual bench of associates aligned to the capability matrix below.

Transformation Capability Matrix

In building the Capability Matrix, our founding Directors, Jason West and Joe Ales, have personally interviewed hundreds of Workday practitioners. So you can rest assured that our associates have been thoroughly vetted by experienced Programme Directors with the experience to assess their capability.

Underscore has taken a strategic decision to maintain a total capacity to deliver two transformation programmes simultaneously. What this means is we can now open up our virtual bench of trusted Workday associates to a select few clients. You get all the advantages of a ready made pool of pre-screened, specialist resources without the associated time and cost to build and maintain it. You simply pay for the resources you need, as and when you use them.

What our customers say

“Working with Underscore was a real breath of fresh air. We were able to discuss our resource plans and requirements with people who regularly hire similar roles for their own programmes, rather than dealing with recruiters trying to sell us candidates. This saved time, removed a level of frustration, and on one occasion, led us to use internal resources in place of hiring additional contractors – saving us money. The quality of candidates and service we received was always exceptional. I believe that Underscore were a key partner in the success of our programme at Bupa.”
