Business Process Reengineering

Business Process Reengineering

Introduction

It was in the year 1990 that Michael Hammer, former professor at MIT published the article “Reengineering work: Don’t automate, Obliterate” in HBR, which caught the attention of the world. The crux of his article was an advice to the companies to eliminate the existing processes which do not add any value to the customer instead of automating it and also to re-focus their priorities to make use of the resources in a better way, thus improving efficiencies.
Companies across the industries have ever been in the pursuit of achieving higher levels of efficiencies, enhancing Continue reading...

Typically, historians of inventions tend to identify one or more specific points at which a particular innovation has been created. This is, in fact, a human characteristic for identification, categorization and reduction. Most, if not all, innovations however cannot be identified by one particular date and/or history. If anything, important events can be identified, not as exact points of occurrence but as events of significance celebrating a long march of development and continuation. Probably, no one area is more debatable as Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Given great jumps by computing capabilities since mid-twentieth century, continuation, development and potential Continue reading...
