“Redwood Leaders (Jennifer DePaola) was instrumental in our successful Workday go-live. With a short deployment window and big-bang development, we needed a partner who could not only understand our business needs but also quickly develop customized change management programs to foster quick adoption. Jennifer took the challenge head-on and developed a comprehensive change management program that resulted in an immediate adoption rate of over 90%."
