Business Process Re-Engineering
Business Process Re-engineering as a component of Business Engineering (BPR)
In order to ensure a robust plan, it is imperative to address the following five key considerations:
A Business Engineering initiative typically involves the integration of multiple projects executed concurrently and sequentially. These projects may encompass a range of activities, including business process re-engineering, information systems development, and other initiatives aimed at aligning resources, training, or restructuring. However, the simultaneous execution of various change initiatives poses a challenge as it may lead to a lack of synergy in contributing to a cohesive business solution. Coordinating multiple initiatives is complex due to inherent dependencies, and the independent solutions' architectures significantly influence their preferred development sequence.
To address these challenges, the key to successfully executing a complex initiative with multiple simultaneous projects lies in establishing a robust architectural framework as the initiating catalyst. This framework ensures that all projects operate within a structured environment, defining their scope, content, and context with one another. Architecture serves as the safeguard or insurance policy over the change process, providing a cohesive and coordinated approach to the multifaceted challenges presented by concurrent project execution.
