When is the right time to embrace change? For Northern Kentucky University, the answer is now. Join CFO Chris Calvert and CIO Tim Ferguson of NKU for a candid conversation on their institution’s decision to modernize administrative systems with Workday.

Discover why Workday was the right fit for a regional public institution—and why leadership chose to act now instead of waiting.
