We don't sell decks. We don't sell hours.
We sell what happens after the work is done.
Advisory decks that leave you to implement alone no longer pass the test. Neither do integrators who execute without owning the thinking behind the work.
Kawari Digital closes that gap. We frame, we deliver, we run — as one continuous engagement. Acceleration by design.
Designed from day one to work together. No practice stands alone.
We frame decisions that survive contact with reality. Business cases, target operating models, roadmaps, governance, post-merger integration — written with one eye on the people who will execute them. Us.
Explore the practice →Workday is our spine. We bring senior-level expertise across HCM, Finance, Payroll, and Adaptive Planning — and connect it to the wider modern ERP ecosystem. Implementations, re-implementations, optimizations, Phase X.
Explore the practice →Transformation does not end at go-live. It begins. Our Application Management Services are built for flexibility: from surge capacity during hypercare to long-term multi-module stewardship. No locked scope. No dead weight.
Explore the practice →We build AI and automation into transformation from day one, not as an afterthought. Agentic workflows, copilots, intelligent process redesign — deployed with the rigor of enterprise IT, not the fragility of a proof of concept.
Explore the practice →No pyramid that bills juniors at senior rates. No handover between the team that sold the work and the team that delivers it. No rotating bench that re-learns your tenant every phase. You will recognise the people who signed the proposal when they walk into hypercare — because it is the same people.
We do not live inside a single product. We frame the operating model before we configure the tenant. We extend into AI, automation and the adjacent ERP ecosystem — so you are not relayed to a third partner the moment the conversation leaves Workday. One design. One team. One accountability.
Senior expertise only. Ever.
No handovers. No finger-pointing.
Not retrofitted onto legacy practice.
The rigor of a Big 4. None of the weight or the cost.
We founded Kawari Digital on a contrarian belief: the best consulting work of the next decade will come from small, accountable teams that stay close — close to the client, close to the code, close to the outcome.
We took that belief and built a firm around it. No pyramid. No rotating benches. No handovers between the team that promises and the team that delivers. One group of senior operators who frame what needs to be done, build it, and stay long enough to see it create measurable acceleration.
The name — Kawari — means change, or a turn, in Japanese. That is what we are hired for. That is what we deliver.
We spent twenty years inside the firms most of our clients have already hired. We left because we grew tired of selling strategy we could not deliver, and delivering programmes we had not been allowed to shape. Kawari Digital is the firm we wish had existed on the other side of the table.
— Maud and Stéphane, Founding Partners
"We are the firm leaders hire when they no longer want two." — Kawari Digital manifesto
We listen before we propose. We say no when we should.
We define the decisions that matter — and the ones that don't.
We build what we framed. Ourselves.
We operate what we built, through hypercare and stabilisation.
Multi-module stewardship, on demand. Surge or steady. No locked scope.
On your terms. Not ours.
Confidentiality is part of what our clients buy. No logos. Outcomes only — anonymised, so the work speaks for itself.
An inherited HCM tenant drifting into release debt. Rationalised security, org, and reporting layers without a big bang. AMS transitioned to us with no gap day.
Workday practice →HCM, Finance and Adaptive, previously split across three partners arguing over cross-module defects. One senior team, one SLA, one escalation path.
AMS practice →Employee lifecycle actions driven by agents inside Workday, with audit logs, override paths, and EU AI Act-aligned governance. No pilot left behind.
AI & Automation practice →Full references — named clients, named outcomes — shared under NDA after a first call.
We work with a chosen number of clients. Pick a slot. One senior on the other end. Thirty minutes.
