BUSINESS PROCESS MANAGEMENT LEARNING PROGRAMS

Business Process Reengineering

Overview

Business Process Reengineering (BPR) is a systematic, disciplined improvement approach that critically examines, rethinks, redesigns, and implements the redesigned key business processes of an organization and/or department. BPR’s goal is to achieve dramatic improvements in performance in areas important to customers and other stakeholders.

In many organizations, key business processes are informal and undefined. This often creates inefficiencies and bottlenecks when there is confusion as to employee responsibilities and organizational/departmental procedures. BPR takes the organization out of their current approach to the management of these key business processes and into the future where they have an opportunity to create the “ideal” and then to identify how to realize these new key business processes.

Session Focus

This workshop is very participative, engaging the group in practical and relevant exercises and discussions. We use a simulation-based methodology to ensure that you understand Reengineering and have the opportunity to apply each stage of the BPR process.
