12. which one of you out there is
likely to perform BPR?
• already in deep S&^!
• NOT YET in trouble
• doing great but looking for a
competitive edge
• high cost, low service, product failures
• acceptable financial situation, but
problems are arising, customer
perception
www.selekt.co
13. a typical / Atypical engagement
• no one size fits all, but
• there are common grounds:
– Framework
– Methodology
– examples
– tools
www.selekt.co
15. BPR methodology [one of many]
assume current process is irrelevant
[start with a clean slate]
• define scope & objectives
• create a vision
• design the new „to-be‟ process
• identify GAP (between current processes,
technology & structure) & Plan transition
• implement solution

• traditional: White board, Yellow
stickies & paper based analysis.
• software:
– Visio
– Lombardi,Websphere business modeler, Oracle,
SAP
– …other vendors out there
www.selekt.co
19. the traditional way
• figure it out yourself?
• travel to remote parties?
• lock team in a room for days
• capture and scribe it all down?
• post-It notes, whiteboards, chart paper?
• convert it to a diagram/drawing?
• back and forth till you finally understand
your process
• publish final version….?
• then……start again….?
www.selekt.co
21. not everyone succeeds with
BPR
• is BPR a calling ?
• 50-70% will fail.
• resistance to change (expect it &
develop ways to confront it) – deal with
EEs concerns not arguments
www.selekt.co
22. common Problems with BPR
• process Simplification is Common -
True BPR is Not
• desire to Change Not Strong Enough
• start Point the Existing Process Not a
Blank Slate
• commitment to Existing Processes Too
Strong
• reliance on existing process too strong
www.selekt.co
23. change
• people
– Leader/Sponsor/Steering committee ($$,
policy,…)
– Process owner (functional)
– Reengineering team
– Reengineering Czar
• tools
• external help
• culture; values have to be changed
www.selekt.co
25. culture before & after
My boss pays my salary make him happy Customers pays salary
Keep my head down. I’m just a cog in the Every job is essential. I do make a
wheel difference
The more direct reports I have the more Showing up is no accomplishment . I get
imp I am paid for the values I create
Tomorrow will be just like today. Always I belong to a team. We fail or succeed
has been together
Nobody knows what tomorrow holds.
Constant learning is part of my job
Before After

26. how to Avoid BPR Failure
• strategic planning
• benefits realization
• use critical chain PM methodology
• unfreeze> Transition>Refreeze
• leverage Information technology
• customer at the centre
• "owned" throughout the organization
• do not ignore corporate culture
• emphasize constant communication and
feedback.
www.selekt.co
27. company profile
• manufacturing or a service
organization
• if your business processes are
inefficient you will be losing money and
generating waste.

Editor's Notes
TestimonialsMore local news, close to the groundand what exactly has BPR got to do with it?
What Introduce some well known and abused concepts or buzz words and their definitions Why AdvantagesHow does it work? What is the deliverable/product? Lifecycle, Stages, Methods, Tools, Examples
A specific ordering of work activities across time and space, with a beginning, an end, and clearly identified inputs and outputs: a structure for action.
A set or sequence of activities that transform a set of inputs into a set of outputs using resources. Has a start and an end with a clearly defined structure.Provides customer-oriented results in support of the organization's objectivesOutputs: [goods or services] Resources: [methods, people, tools, material, etc]. StakeholdersEx of processes: Invoicing a customer, performing a credit analysis on a customer, placing an order, etc
Fundamental: why do we do what we do? Why do we do it the way we do it? - ignore what is and concentrate on what should beRadical: disregard all existing structure & procedures and invent new waysDramatic: quantum leaps in performanceMeasures of performance: [cost, quality ,service ,speed]
Automationis an automatic, as opposed to human, operation or control of a process, equipment or a system; Downsizingis the reduction of expenditures in order to become financial stable. Outsourcing involves paying another company to provide the services a company might otherwise have employed its own staff to perform. Continuous improvement emphasizes small and measurable refinements to an organization's current processes and systems. Continuous improvements’ origins were derived from total quality management (TQM) and Six Sigma.
This is not for meIndulge with me for a minute Not only governments have paper intensive & bureaucracy trust me
Companies in troubleCompanies not yet in trouble but see a glitch in the horizonLooking for an edge Performance issues Anticipate a change, problem, customer demand shift (industry)
All this is fine…. In theory You are probably wondering how does this apply to me ? Or how does it actually work? concreteBefore I venture into showing what typical examples look like, I would be deceiving you if I see one size fits all. CBM by IBM heat maps…

If abused, warning to get off approved list The goal of business process reengineering is to modify, refine, and enhance the interaction between process, people, and technology to help companies realize their business objectives.
1. Start with executive consensus on the importance of reengineeringtypical BPR projects involve cross-functional cooperation and significant changes to the status quo, the planning for organizational changes is difficult to conduct without strategic direction from the topHaving identified the customerdriven objectives, the mission or vision statement is formulated. The vision is what a company believes it wants toachieve when it is done, and a well-defined vision will sustain a company’s resolve through the stress of thereengineering process.2. Should understand the existing process before you begin – some (H&C) argue against (stating it inhibits creativity) dire straits organizations go the hammer champy way. improvement should provide dramatic results. Obhjective: identify disconnects & value adding processes3. objective of this phase is to produce one or more alternatives to the current situation that satisfy strategic goals. Identify chokepoints / areas for improvements4. Meets the most resistance. Most difficult phase. develop a transition plan from the As-Is to the redesigned process. This plan must align the organizational structure, information systems, and the business policies and procedures with the redesigned processes.5. A process cannot be reengineered overnight. Monitor progress of action & results.

REMEMBER - “If it isn’t broke …”
Change is almost always disruptive and traumatic at times. Those who know how to anticipate it and catalyze and manage it will stay at the topDimensions of change; structural, cultural, process, cost Czar” (orchestrator of all reengineering efforts – achieve synergy with overall R projects & vision)

Use consultants; expert &/or process
Cultural values in some organizations are the by-products of fragmented management systems which focus of past performance, control, and enshrine hierarchy … so….Even values have to change
Unfreeze: Release attachment between sense of identity and their environment – push them out of their comfort zoneTransition: change, even at the psychological level, is a journey rather than a simple stepRefreeze: putting down roots again and establishing the new place of stabilityCritical chain The focus is no longer on finishing individual tasks on time, but rather starting and completing these tasks as soon as possible.
It doesn't matter if you are a manufacturing or a service organization, if your business processes are inefficient you will be losing money and generating waste. As Michael Hammer and James Champy say in their classic book "Reengineering the Corporation" - "Automating a mess yields an automated mess"
