Stop Relying on Contractors to Run Your Adaptive Instance 

You invested in Adaptive because it’s one of the best FP&A tools on the market.
But here’s the reality for many finance teams:

• They only use Adaptive for expense planning — and only touch it once or twice a year.

• Reports are brittle, confusing, or incomplete, so leaders fall back to Excel.

• Every annual budget cycle requires outside contractors just to make basic updates.

That means Adaptive isn’t driving insight, agility, or trust. It’s just another expensive system.

What If Adaptive Actually Worked for You?

Imagine your FP&A team running Adaptive with confidence:

• Reliable systems – reports that leadership can trust, every time.

• Flexible models – quick scenario planning, no rebuilds required.

• Consistent cadence – forecasting and analysis on a monthly or even weekly basis.

• Scalable design – a foundation that grows with your business, instead of breaking under pressure.

When Adaptive is built right, your team moves from being data wranglers to true strategic partners who guide the business with insights.

Meet Your Instructor: Mark McConkie

Hi, I’m Mark. For the last 8 years, I’ve lived and breathed Workday Adaptive Planning — not as a consultant peeking in from the outside, but as someone who’s spent every single day inside the system. I’ve used Adaptive at 4 different companies and personally implemented it at 3 of them. Along the way, I’ve trained more than 500 finance professionals to unlock the full power of Adaptive and transform the way their FP&A teams work.

Here’s what I’ve learned: most teams are stuck using Adaptive for the basics — a little expense planning here, a budget refresh there. But that barely scratches the surface of what it can do. When Adaptive is built right, it becomes the engine that makes finance faster, smarter, and more strategic.

That’s why I built these courses. My two goals are simple:

1. Make you and your team as strong and knowledgeable in Adaptive as possible.

2. Get your Adaptive instance automated, flexible, and scalable — so it works for you, not the other way around.

Gone are the days of compiling data manually, wrestling with brittle models, or scrambling to get reports to leadership weeks late. With the right setup, you’ll have accurate, actionable financial models at your fingertips — and the freedom to focus on what really matters: driving the business forward.

Let’s level up your Adaptive skills and turn your FP&A team into the strategic partner your business needs.

Ready to Take Your FP&A Team to the Next Level?

If your Adaptive instance feels clunky, underused, or dependent on outside contractors, you’re not alone. But it doesn’t have to stay that way.

With the Excellence in Adaptive program, your team will:
✅ Learn exactly what to build and how to build it.
✅ Gain the confidence to run Adaptive without outside help.
✅ Create forecasts and reports your leadership can trust.
✅ Free up time for real analysis, not just data wrangling.

And right now, during beta, you can lock in 50% off enrollment ($5,000 instead of $10,000).

This is your chance to transform Adaptive from “just another tool” into the engine that powers faster, smarter, more strategic finance.
