Proper execution of Business Process Re-designing can be a game-changer to any business. If properly handled, business process reengineering can perform miracles on a failing or stagnating company, increasing the profits and driving growth.
Business process reengineering is the act of recreating a core business process with the goal of improving product output, quality, or reducing costs.
Typically, it involves the analysis of company workflows, finding processes that are sub-par or inefficient, and figuring out ways to get rid of them or change them.
BPR means changing the processes fundamentally.
