Business Process re-engineering links

• Business Process Re-engineering, The fundamental analysis and radical redesign of everything:
  business processes and management systems, job definitions, organizational structures and beliefs and behaviors
  to achieve dramatic performance improvements to meet contemporary requirements.
  Information technology (IT) is a key enabler in this process. Acronym: BPR
• BPR Definition, The process of radically changing or re-engineering a process.
  BPR is used when businesses are out of time, i.e., if they do not do something they will be out-of-business or have huge financial problems,
  or when people perform processes so differently that there is no one clear process.
  BPR has a high risk associated with it, has radical results and starts with a clean slate.
