4. Iterative Review: Assess your plan based on scalability, adaptability, and risk mitigation strategies.

Evaluation Criteria

Submissions are evaluated on the clarity, creativity, and feasibility of the implementation plan. Special focus will be placed on the practicality of integrating Workday HCM features within a logistics environment, appropriate risk management, and the overall integration design. The task is estimated to take 30-35 hours. All materials used should be gathered from publicly available resources or academic publications.

Task Objective

The focus of this week’s task is to develop a data analytics model that evaluates the performance and impact of digital transformation initiatives within logistics supply chains. Emphasis should be placed on utilizing Workday HCM metrics alongside logistics KPIs.

Expected Deliverables

• A detailed DOC file explaining your analytics model.
• Charts, graphs, or tables illustrating performance metrics.
• A clear methodology with defined evaluation criteria.

Key Steps to Complete the Task

1. Literature and Best Practices Review: Conduct research on key performance indicators used in both digital transformation and logistics. Understand how Workday HCM metrics can be integrated for comprehensive performance evaluation.
2. Model Development: Design a data analytics framework that captures operational, financial, and human capital metrics. Outline the tools you intend to use and the frequency of performance tracking.
3. Documentation: Prepare a DOC file with a structured approach that includes background research, model architecture, analytical methodology, and expected outcomes. Use visuals to explain data flow and metric calculations.
4. Validation: Explain how the model ensures accuracy, consistency, and provides actionable insights into the effectiveness of digital transformation.

Evaluation Criteria

Your submission will be assessed based on the robustness and clarity of the analytics framework, relevance to digital transformation and Workday HCM application, innovative use of data visualization, and thoroughness in defining performance evaluation techniques. Ensure the explanation is detailed, clear and self-contained, taking approximately 30-35 hours of work.

Task Objective

This task requires you to develop a change management strategy that aligns with digital transformation in logistics supply chains. Your plan must incorporate risk mitigation techniques specifically considering the integration of Workday HCM processes in managing change.

Expected Deliverables

• A thoroughly detailed DOC file containing your change management and risk mitigation plan.
• Diagrams that illustrate the change management workflow and risk management checkpoints.
• Recommendations and contingency plans.

Key Steps to Complete the Task

1. Research: Examine strategies and methodologies for effective change management in digital contexts, particularly in operations and human capital management systems like Workday HCM.
2. Plan Formulation: Create a plan that outlines the steps for managing organizational change, including stakeholder engagement, communication plans, training programs, and performance metrics.
3. Risk Analysis: Identify potential risks during transformation and detail steps for risk mitigation. Use diagrams to represent risk checkpoints and response strategies.
4. Documentation: Document the entire process in a DOC file. Make sure your planning is segmented clearly into phases (pre-implementation, implementation, and post-implementation), and provide detailed contingency plans and strategies for adaptation.

Evaluation Criteria

The evaluation will focus on the depth and feasibility of your change management strategy, the clarity of risk mitigation processes, and the integration of Workday HCM principles into the process. Your plan should be practical, well-researched, and detailed enough to be actionable within a real-world logistics supply chain context, fulfilling approximately 30-35 hours of effort.

Task Objective

This final week’s task is focused on advanced application and optimization of digital processes to enhance supply chain execution. The emphasis will be on integrating innovative Workday HCM methods to improve operational efficiency, resource allocation, and overall system performance within logistics.

Expected Deliverables

• A detailed DOC file that documents your digital process enhancement strategy.
• Implementation plans, process improvement charts, and a feedback loop mechanism.
• Analysis of potential improvements and a pilot testing plan.

Key Steps to Complete the Task
