Business Process Reengineering
To maintain profitability and a competitive advantage in a challenging and uncertain marketplace, many leading companies are turning to business process reengineering. When executed well, business process reengineering initiatives can result in more efficient and effective operations, with an improved bottom line and balance sheet.
Business process reengineering success factors
Several factors can go a long way toward ensuring the success of a business process reengineering program:
- Visible, sustained support from executive leadership and commitment to the business process reengineering project.
- A strong business case based on empirical data that aligns the business process reengineering effort with strategic goals and defines clear, measurable objectives.
- Use of proven business process reengineering methodologies that have solid grounding in real-world results – not just in theory.
- Clear communication within the organization, including documentation, which conveys the goals of the business process reengineering initiative as well as the roles and responsibilities of the participants.
- An end-to-end perspective that takes into account the entire process, and involves multiple parts of a company that may play roles in elements of its execution.
- Identification and attainment of “quick wins” that can help to build early confidence in the business process improvement initiative.
Another critical business process reengineering success factor is the selection of the right consulting partner – a partner with a proven track record, wide and deep experience, and sound methodologies.
