Case Study: The HALO Trust achieves faster, more accurate global program budgeting with Workday Adaptive Planning

Enabling local experts to drive collaborative budgeting and forecasting

HALO Trust, the world’s largest humanitarian land‑mine clearance organization with more than 8,700 staff across 25 countries, clears mines and other explosive hazards so communities can return to safe livelihoods. Its distributed program teams relied on complex, locally built spreadsheets, which caused version‑control issues, broken formulas, slow reforecasting, and made consolidation and central validation of budgets difficult.

Implementing Workday Adaptive Planning gave HALO a single platform for country‑specific and global assumptions, standardizing budgeting and forecasting across teams and aligning with its operational planning cycle. The change produced faster, more accurate program budgets and continuous forecasting, simplified central validation, and streamlined global reporting for more agile decision‑making.
