Business Process Modeling & Agile Transformation

In times of rapid change, rigid workflows and inefficient processes pose a significant risk. Professional business process modeling in Switzerland creates the transparency needed to identify waste—but that is only the first step. To remain competitive in the long term, a transformation in ways of working is often required. SYNSPACE Switzerland GmbH combines two powerful approaches: precise identification of inefficiencies through Lean Management and value stream analysis, and strategic Agile Transformation toward flexible frameworks such as Scrum or SAFe.
  • Typical challenges our clients face:
  • How can we quickly and reliably identify inefficiencies in our existing processes?
  • Which processes are suitable for Lean or value stream optimization, and where is agility appropriate?
  • How do we combine traditional process models with agile frameworks like Scrum or SAFe?
  • Which tools and methods efficiently support process optimization and agile adoption?
  • How can we measure the success of process and transformation initiatives sustainably?

In Short: What is Business Process Modeling?

Business process modeling, often using the international BPMN standard (Business Process Model and Notation), visualizes complex workflows clearly and logically. It serves as a common language between business and IT and provides the transparency needed to make weaknesses visible and improvements actionable.
  • Lean Management & Value Stream Analysis:
  • Our process optimization approach is based on Lean principles, aiming to eliminate the seven types of waste (Muda): overproduction, waiting, unnecessary transport, overprocessing, excess inventory, unnecessary motion, and defects/rework.
  • Using value stream mapping, we capture the current state, identify value-adding and non-value-adding activities, and design a lean target state. BPMN modeling is used to document these optimized processes and prepare them for digitalization.

Agile Transformation – Moving to Agile Frameworks

Agile transformation involves shifting from rigid, hierarchical structures to flexible, self-organizing networks. For Swiss companies, this is key to responding faster to market changes.
  • Scrum: Ideal for product development with clearly defined roles (Product Owner, Scrum Master), artifacts, and events.
  • SAFe: Scales agility for large organizations (Scaled Agile Framework).
  • Kanban: Focuses on flow optimization, visualizing work, and limiting work in progress (WIP).
