Crown Ridge Group was founded because the Workday ecosystem had a gap — consultants who could build the vision but couldn’t connect it to real-world execution, or technicians who could configure the system but couldn’t connect it to strategy. Damien Benson built CRG to bridge both sides, working alongside clients and their implementation partners as a strategic advocate.
Most consultants give you one or the other. CRG bridges the gap — building the roadmap and guiding the work alongside your team, ensuring your Workday investment actually delivers.
We start every engagement by diagnosing root causes — not patching symptoms. That means uncovering misaligned processes, unclear ownership, and system configurations that don't reflect how the business actually runs.
Most organizations don’t have a technology problem — they have a coordination problem. When people, processes, and technology aren’t aligned, everything breaks down. Our job is to fix those gaps so your business runs the way it’s supposed to.
We operate as an extension of your team, taking shared responsibility for outcomes, not just deliverables.
We identify and address the underlying causes of problems, not just the surface-level symptoms.
We design solutions that are usable, scalable, and aligned with how your business actually operates.
We make the right decisions, not the easy ones, and we stand behind the outcomes.

We define how your operations and systems should work — designing governance, ownership models, and scalable foundations that replace reactive operations with clear structure.

We make your systems work and keep them working. System cleanup, reconfiguration, business process optimization, reporting improvements, and embedded execution support.

We build enterprise data governance frameworks, create executive dashboards, and develop workforce analytics so leadership can make confident, data-driven decisions.

Modernize and realign your HR systems by improving configuration, processes, and data—reducing manual work, eliminating inefficiencies, and ensuring your system can scale with the business.
Damien Benson started his career on the functional side of HR before moving into systems and technology — which means CRG speaks both languages. We translate between the functional and technical worlds so nothing gets lost.






Most organizations don’t have a technology problem — they have an alignment problem. CRG fixes root causes across people, processes, and systems so your Workday investment delivers lasting results.
