Aurora

The Challenge |

Aurora faced significant challenges before leveraging Kognitiv’s support. Their C-Suite staff and compensation team required robust analytics and dashboards to visualize multiple metrics, which were essential for accelerating and improving strategic decision-making regarding workforce compensation and DEI initiatives. However, Aurora’s small internal team lacked the capacity to manage such an extensive project. The limited internal knowledge of Workday’s capabilities and manpower necessitated external expertise to deliver the project effectively and on time.
Compounding these issues was a tight timeline, requiring project completion within a very short period, and the need for multiple iterations to meet the evolving requirements. Ensuring the secure handling of information for multiple end users was also crucial, adding another layer of complexity. Additionally, the project had to cater to the diverse information needs of various stakeholders, making it essential to find a solution that was both flexible and robust.


“Kognitiv’s flexibility and commitment, including long hours and calls, were crucial for the project’s success.”

The Solution |

Kognitiv Inc. leveraged Workday’s full dashboard capacity to create a robust solution for Aurora.tech, delivering over 49 metrics across two comprehensive dashboards. These custom dashboards provided enhanced access to critical data, driving strategic decision-making and efficiency. The first dashboard focused on compensation metrics related to DEI, including summaries of merit, promotion, and stock metrics, and detailed breakdowns by gender and underrepresented minorities.
The second dashboard provided an overview of compensation metrics, including merit, promotion, bonus, equity, and pre/post position in range distribution. These dashboards significantly reduced the time Aurora tech’s team needed to manage data by automating processes and eliminating manual intervention. This provided instant access to well-organized, actionable insights, enhancing efficiency and freeing up internal resources for strategic initiatives by saving Aurora around 150 hours of manpower. The greater visibility and deeper insights from these dashboards enabled Aurora.tech to make informed decisions, driving their strategic initiatives and overall business success.
