1. PURPOSES & CORE SCOPE

The role is included inside the Workday project, concretely in the last step which focuses on the switch of Board into an EPM inside Workday ecosystem(Adaptive). In this process we will not copy paste what we have currently in Board, but we will reshape the way we manage the big management control processes(piloting, trajectory and business plan) , always looking for a tool that will answer to the needs of the FP&A of the future. The BPO will have a key role in this project since he will work into writing business processes management rules together with activity relays, designing future process workflows ensuring all necessary steps and stakeholders are correctly considered in the future solution and providing the most efficient solutions using all tools available(AI, connections with Workday Finance and Workday HCM and drivers inside the tool).

Based on corporate strategies, the Business Process Owner (BPO) structures, micro-designs, and optimizes the End-to-End (E2E) business processes and data models required to implement Decathlon's new EPM solution (Adaptive). He/She also tests the new solutions to ensure their proper functioning, and participate in the change management. The BPO acts as the ultimate bridge between Business, Digital/IT, and User Experience (UX) perspectives.
