Reimagining Enterprise Productivity with Workday Illuminate: A Framework for Generative AI Adoption Across HCM and Finance

Abstract

This paper examines the transformative potential of Workday Illuminate and its generative AI capabilities across Human Capital Management (HCM) and Financial Management. Through analysis of implementation methodologies and integration architectures, this paper provides a comprehensive framework for enterprise-scale adoption. It presents hypothetical implementation scenarios to illustrate the potential application of the framework, highlighting anticipated productivity gains, improved decision-making, and enhanced employee experiences. The research suggests that strategic implementation of generative AI via Workday Illuminate could represent a significant competitive advantage for organizations undergoing digital transformation, when supported by appropriate integration frameworks and governance structures.
