Tangible Growth and SAP Signavio Announce Strategic Partnership

Connecting corporate strategy to process excellence. A new integration creates a two-way connection between strategic decision-making and operational business process management.

Måns Olof-OrsMåns Olof-Ors, Chief Product Officer ·

Leaders typically invest significant time and money articulating a strategy for how to win, yet for most teams it remains an abstract concept in a PowerPoint deck.

Helping organizations close that gap is what has driven Tangible Growth since our founding. Today, in partnership with SAP Signavio, we are extending our platform all the way to the business process layer. With this connection we can both bring strategic direction to operational decision making, and ensure strategic decisions take in process reality.

This integration has been built in close collaboration with the SAP Signavio product team, and with us on the journey we have also had customers and partners who have lived this problem first hand to ensure we stay on the right path addressing business critical issues.

Celebrate business impact, not feature releases

The launch of any transformation program is always a great success. The work starts, and early wins are booked. Then reporting takes over, regular updates go unread, and teams check in because they are supposed to. Feature releases are ticked off, but did anyone keep their eyes on value creation and the bottom line?

A few years later, when the next program needs funding, the ROI from the last one is conveniently forgotten. And besides, that was a different leadership team, and things are different now.

Most people in large organizations are competent and act rationally with the information they have. They are executing like soldiers without the map that only generals carry. The problem is not just access to strategy: it is understanding how it applies to them and their team. Without that, individually sensible decisions made in isolation will never add up to the same result as decisions made in alignment.

Strategy expresses ambition, process expresses reality. They both need each other.

The questions that matter are harder than "how do we run this better?" Which processes do we need to be best in class to win? And where is good enough actually good enough? Not every process deserves the same investment. Answering those questions well requires operational clarity on where you stand today, and strategic understanding of where excellence is competitively decisive. The relationship that creates that clarity is a virtuous circle: strategy informs process, and process informs strategy, continuously, not once a year in a planning cycle.

What changes when the loop closes

Ambiguity is what makes executives cautious, not risk itself. Well informed risk taking is what separates the organizations that pull ahead from those that merely keep up. When leaders can see that a transformation program is grounded in operational reality, they can commit with conviction rather than hedge. The investment conversation shifts from "this is too much, what can we cut" to "what would you deliver if I doubled your ask."

Resources are finite, and it takes both capacity and courage to stop doing things to enable growth investment. Most organizations never make that trade-off explicit, so instead of stopping things properly, they slice a little from everything and add pressure on an already stretched organization. The real scarcity is rarely just money. The people who understand a specific domain, or can run a complex transformation, cannot be conjured from nowhere. If you are aware of your strengths, weaknesses and bottlenecks, as well as understanding where you need to be best in class to win, you can not only invest with confidence, you can also make informed decisions on where you no longer need to operate.

And once the investment is made, continuous visibility into how execution tracks against the original business case opens a much larger window to steer. Problems that would otherwise surface in a post-mortem become visible while there is still room to act, which is the difference between a transformation that delivers its number and one that quietly joins the list of initiatives nobody wants to talk about.

What makes this partnership special

SAP Signavio gives organizations deep clarity into how their processes run, benchmarked against best practice and grounded in what is happening today. Tangible Growth connects strategic priorities to the people and processes responsible for delivering them.

What the integration creates is something neither platform delivers alone: it connects strategic transformation with process transformation and makes them inform each other continuously. Strategic intent reaches process owners directly. And operational reality can influence corporate strategy, not just at the next planning cycle.

Some of the most important facts about a company live at the process level. Until now, most senior leaders have never seen them, not because the data did not exist, but because it lived in systems they had no reason to log into. This integration changes that. Process intelligence now surfaces in the context of strategic decision-making, without anyone needing a Signavio login. Decision-grade data, in the right context, for the people who need it most.

SAP's Business Transformation Management offering (Signavio, LeanIX, WalkMe and others) is already a powerhouse for technology and process transformation. What Tangible Growth brings into that stack is strategic intent, strategic alignment and business steering. With our two-way integration, both the business user and the process practitioner benefit. We are adding the strategic brain to the digital twin stack. This is just the beginning.

This matters for AI too. As organizations deploy AI agents to support decision-making and automate work, those agents need the same thing people do: a clear line of sight to what the business is trying to achieve. Without it, an AI will optimize for what is locally measurable and make the same mistakes at scale. Strategic context is the guardrail.

"Our partnership with Tangible Growth closes a critical gap in the strategy-to-value journey, empowering customers to translate strategic intent into operational reality, continuously adapt based on real-time insights, and drive measurable business impact."
