WHAT IS BUSINESS PROCESS REENGINEERING?

Have you noticed how many buzzwords are part of our daily vocabulary?  Buzzwords like out-of-pocket, deep dive, circle back and outside the box.  I use and hear these and others like them all the time.  One buzzword that seems to be making a comeback is Business Process Reengineering (BPR).

What is BPR? 

There are many definitions out there, but Bain & Company has produced some great work on this subject- BPR involves the radical redesign of core business processes to achieve dramatic improvements in productivity, cycle times and quality. In Business Process Reengineering, companies rethink existing processes to deliver more value to the customer. They typically adopt a new value system that places increased emphasis on customer needs. Companies reduce organizational layers and eliminate unproductive activities in two key areas.

1. Redesign functional organizations into cross-functional teams.
2. Use technology to improve data dissemination and decision making.

There is an extreme view that ACC does not hold to:

1. Obliterate what you have now and start from scratch.
2. Transform every aspect of your organization.

We don’t want to reinvent the wheel. Transformation, yes, not Turmoil.  Starting over can sometimes be necessary, but in most cases we can keep some of the excellent business processes already in place and focus our attention to bottle necks and data redundancies to name a few.

How can ACC help?
