Tangible Growth

Strategy execution · transformation

Your strategy changed. Did your transformation?

Is the transformation landing on the frontlines, or only in the deck?

The gap

Status stays green, because the status is written by the people drifting.

A transformation is approved for a strategic reason. Then delivery takes over. Workstreams, migrations and go-lives are tracked to the week, while the strategy moves on and nobody updates the link between the two.

Work does happen. Plenty gets created, and much of it gets done. But the teams affected by the change hear about it late and without the reason, and focus settles back into how things were always done. By the time it escalates, the quarter is spent.

The people involved are doing their jobs. The gap is structural: the program keeps a system of record for delivery, and nobody keeps one for the decisions the transformation was meant to serve.

What Tangible Growth is

Tangible Growth is that system of record: software and a methodology, built over a decade of doing this work by hand for large organizations. It holds the decisions you have made, connected to the teams carrying them and the dependencies between those teams. When the work drifts from what was decided, you see it while you can still act.

  • Strategic choices

    The bets leadership made, which everything else traces back to.

  • Game Plans

    How each team interprets its part in the strategy, how it works, and what it will not do.

  • Objectives and key results

    With forward-looking confidence from the owner, not a status color computed after the fact.

  • Interlocks and commitments

    What one team needs from another, raised and resolved instead of discovered late.

One choice changes. You see which workstreams and which teams have to change with it. Example data.
  1. Linked to the choices it serves

    Each transformation program is linked to the strategic choices it serves and to the teams that execute and govern it. Its context is shared with the whole impacted organization, so people see why the change matters for their own work, and Individual Insights asks them, anonymously and regularly, whether they understand it, whether they are ready for it and what concerns them. When the strategy shifts, you see which parts of the program need to shift with it, and leaders steer from one shared picture.

  2. From the plan you already have

    Most transformations start from a document: a program definition, a steering deck, a consultant’s report. The Executive Advisor, with the Transformation Canvas built in, drafts the Tangible Growth version of it with you in a guided conversation, and you get a one-page summary for the leadership team, a proposed Game Plan structure, and drafted objectives, key results and interlocks, ready for your team to enter. The plans stay the teams’ own: each workstream argues its draft through, and a plan nobody has argued about is a plan nobody owns.

  3. With SAP Signavio

    Your transformation initiatives in SAP Signavio are linked to the outcomes they serve on the strategic layer, and an initiative’s status shows on the objective or key result it delivers as it changes. The transformation and its intent stay connected from approval to go-live and beyond.

Proven where it is hardest

SAP Signavio

When SAP Signavio faced a complex post-merger integration, organizational hypergrowth, and aggressive growth targets at the same time, it ran its strategy execution on Tangible Growth. The publicly documented outcomes: monthly releases, shorter cycles, and teams that understand the strategy they execute. “Tangible Growth is helping us increase our clock speed and rapidly align ourselves against changing situations. We are able to move like an agile startup with the muscle of the big giants,” says Rami Akkad, Senior Director, SAP Business Process Intelligence.

In a global mining equipment manufacturer, a 100-person division team is driving change worldwide toward a tenfold growth target. Their status meetings went from 2 hours to 20 minutes.
