Business Process Transformation Mission
Welcome to your business process transformation! Explore content that will support and guide you through continuous improvement across the different business process transformation disciplines.
In which use case do you find yourself?
A business process transformation could be driven by:
- a process excellence initiative with the objective to implement a process driven culture
- a change or redesign of a single process
- process management as a prerequisite/basis for a business transformation
- a change or implementation of an ERP System or any other IT-System.

Continuous improvement due to "processes" and "systems"
Business process transformation is achieved through the continuous cycle of"processes" & "systems" as depicted above – let’s call it your mission.
The SAP Signavio Community will support you with content that enables you to jump rightinto the cycle exactly where you are and need it most. Both cycles should ideally belinked to one another, however you can use them separately as well. The usage of the model depends on your specific use case.
As a first phase, we’re delivering a deep dive into the cycle "processes" with a step by step guide to each phase, and will continue to expand this content within the community through blog posts and templates to support you on your mission.
As a second step we’ll address the cycle "systems" and will be providing a deep dive there too.
Now let's have a look at"processes"and have fun exploring this together:

Design

Enable

Execute

Analyze

Enhance
Strive for excellence and keep improving the business process(es) based on your process learnings and data.
Independently of the size of the use case, this phase may include:
