Why Kognitiv?

The founders and consultants of Kognitiv live and breathe Workday®. We understand that going live with your new system is just the first step in a long partnership with Workday and its ecosystem. Implementations are fast and furious, with work like reports, dashboards, and knowledge transfer often postponed until after a go-live. In some cases, your implementation partner has already moved on to its next project. This is why Kognitiv exists: to bridge the gap for those clients wanting to better maintain and enhance their system post a go-live.

No Limits. No Borders.
As Workday continues to grow, we remain committed to helping clients maximize their investment through strategic, ongoing support to drive long-term value beyond deployment. Now with over 200 Workday experts across North America, Europe, and India, we’ve expanded our reach to deliver flexible, on-demand, power-by-the-hour support that scales with you.

With consultants operating in ten countries and supporting clients in five languages, this global expansion reinforces our dedication to post-production excellence—wherever you are in your Workday journey.
Pay as you go, scale as you grow
Kognitiv offers simplified Workday consulting and support without the need for long-term contracts, complicated rate cards or minimum spend requirements. This solution allows clients to pay for only what they need, when they need it, such as rolling out new features to your team, handling updates, or adding new divisions to your organization. Whatever project is thrown your way, Kognitiv has the experts to scale up your team quickly to handle the workload.
Beholden to our clients, not investors
Our Founders, Luke Switkowski and Mark Grignon built Kognitiv from the ground up, without outside investment, servicing one client at a time, and growing organically to support hundreds of Workday customers across the globe. They have shaped our culture which is ONLY beholden to our Team, Clients, and Community. This allows us to focus on the long-term relationship with our clients without the worry of meeting investor sales quotas or other short-term business objectives.
Our employees are the engine of our company
We seek to be the best in the Workday ecosystem, in both customer and employee satisfaction. We want to hire the best, and we want to retain the best. We have seen that happy employees go hand-in-hand with happy customers. We truly believe that if our employees feel engaged, challenged, and empowered with the work they do every day, they will provide top-notch service for our clients and our prospective clients.
We are held accountable every day, on every engagement
Our simplified billing, “cancel at any-time” feature means that our next engagement is dependent on our ability to perform on the current one. Our customer base of hundreds of clients is a testament to our work and worth since clients have to be sold on our value for every engagement.

Have you ever been sold by a talented sales-rep, only to be handed off to a junior technician? Our approach is very different, you will meet your core team from the beginning so they can get to know you, your business and your unique application of the Workday solution setting the stage for a long-term relationship.
Getting to the core issue faster
Have you ever read a training manual for a new software application, then attempted to use this new-found knowledge in practice? If so, then you know the difference between researched and experiential knowledge. Our consultants have both formal and in-the-field training which means we can find core problems and offer up solutions faster than competitors. This will save you hard costs in hourly charges as well as improve your productivity.

Our consultants have seen hundreds of implementations across dozens of industries and we have not bumped into a project we can’t handle. We are kept up with the latest features of Workday through internal training from product leads with practical experience.

Values that our employees embody

Act Like an Owner

“Act like an Owner” is the heart of Kognitiv. Employees have the autonomy to make decisions and are held accountable for outcomes. We live this value by upholding our core principles every single day.

Respect and Gratitude

Respect individuals—from fellow employees to clients and vendors. Respect is a two-way street; we simply treat others exactly how we would like to be treated.
icon-8

Transparency

We tell it like it is. No sugar coating, no misleading. We trust our colleagues can handle the truth, want the raw data, and desire transparency in all interactions.

Authenticity

Be true to your values every day. If we wanted you to be someone else, we would have hired someone else. Come as you are and bring your truest self.

Self Awareness

Lean into discomfort, acknowledge mistakes, and embrace growth. Use your strengths and opportunities to grow yourself and the company each day.
icon-6

Be Different

Dare to look at things crooked, always be innovating, and never be satisfied with the status quo in how you sell products or deliver services.

Building Bottom-Up

Growing a company bottom-up is typically the opposite of what consultants see in a fast-growing services company. We didn’t start the company by hiring a bunch of managers to start ‘managing’. Rather, we hire the best consultants and we promote from within when we see an opportunity for management. We trust in our employees and want to maximize their opportunities as Kognitiv continues on its journey.
