In this episode of Workday Gold, Keith Bitikofer sits down with George Whitaker, head of innovation at Maxi Group, to explore his fascinating journey from Workday customer to Built on Workday partner. George shares the story of transforming PGA of America's decades-old systems and building one of the early Workday Extend success stories—the Purse Payout Tool that manages winnings from 6,000 annual golf events. The conversation reveals how Workday has evolved from a software company to a true platform, enabling rapid application development that once took months of integration work.

The discussion dives deep into the Built on Workday marketplace, where George's team has released multiple applications on Workday’s Marketplace solving real customer problems, from customer portal payments to IBAN (international bank account number) validation. They explore the differences between building apps for individual customers versus the marketplace, the role of AI beyond simple text generation, and how Workday's agent model could revolutionize business process management. George offers practical career advice drawn from his experience on both sides of the Workday ecosystem, emphasizing the power of networking, continuous learning, and approaching problems with creativity rather than predetermined solutions.
