Walsh shares her experience leading key SAP SuccessFactors projects, including the rollout of two custom-built apps—one for compliance documentation and another for infield assessments—both developed on SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP). These apps significantly improved efficiency, eliminated manual processes, and increased compliance visibility. Walsh emphasizes the importance of user-friendly design, system integration, and cultural change in achieving workforce readiness, particularly in a highly regulated and contractor-heavy industry. She also discusses the organization’s upcoming transition to a fully cloud-based HR core with EC and ECP, the strategic importance of aligning IT and business teams, and her continued focus on automation and process improvement.
