Case Study: Engineers Australia (national engineering nonprofit) achieves improved budget control and clearer forecasting with Workday Adaptive Planning

Improved Budget Control Clears up Forecasting Outlook for Nonprofit Organization

Engineers Australia, the national nonprofit body for engineers with over 100,000 members, faced slow, error-prone forecasting driven by manual Excel processes. Lengthy effort and limited reconciliation meant forecasts were often rough estimates, eroding confidence and making budgeting a heavy administrative burden.

By implementing Workday Adaptive Planning (Adaptive Insights) with partner GKHORIZONS, Engineers Australia gave business managers immediate visibility and control over budgets, boosting ownership and accountability. The finance team gained more accurate, in-depth forecasts, experienced “wow” moments in the budget process, and reclaimed time to focus on business strategy.
