 Stage which creates motivation and
readiness to change through
demonstrating a need for change,
inducing guilty and creating
psychological safety to what
happening in the future.

22
 Changing is the stage which involves cognitive
restructuring in which organizational members need
to see things differently than before. As result of this
different view, must act differently.
 Two processes are needed to accomplish this
stage.
Members need to identify with a new model,
leader or even a consultant to begin to seeing
things from other person’s point of view
Scan the environment for acquiring new
information relevant change happing in an
organization

Success stories of BPRSuccess stories of BPR
 Taco Bell: the company has achieved a significant growth of 22 percent in a
stagnant market as well as conquering a remarkable customer satisfaction by
rethinking on “who is the real customer?” and planning and implementing
business processes which bring value to customer.
 R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co.:- To re engineering their business process of

imaging technology which eliminated paper based payment system as a result
there was a reduction of 37 percent in processing per invoice which reduce
the overall budget by $600,000.
 Reuters: - world famous media organisation achieved accuracy of 95 percent
of installation on time and 98 percent in billing those installations by
reengineering the customer order life cycle.
 Zenega Ag Products: - this company reengineered their business group in
19 teams and adopt a new rewards system to achieve consistency, equity and
opportunity for their employees.
What is BPR?What is BPR?
The fundamental rethinking and radical redesign of business
processes to achieve dramatic improvements in performance
measures such as cost, quality, service and speed.
(Hammer and Champy, 1993)
BPR is a management tool which helps organisation to examine and
redesigned their businesses process to enhance cost efficiency
and service effectiveness.
(Lindsay et al., 2003; Vidovic and Vuhic, 2003)
When organisation use BPR ?When organisation use BPR ?
 When organisation identify they are in deep trouble
 They were not in trouble yet but could see major
problem ahead
 They were in peak condition and wanted further

IdentifyingIdentifying
Process for reengineeringProcess for reengineering
 It is impossible to reengineer all the organisation’s process
simultaneously.
 Hammer and Champy: “organisation should take into
consideration three major criteria while selecting process for
BPR”. :
22 Feasibility Importance
Dysfunction
Selecting
process
criteria
Process which
are in deep
trouble
Processes
which have
greater impact
on customer
Processes which
are most
susceptible to
successful
redesign
UnderstandingUnderstanding
the selected processthe selected process
33
 Before undertaking a reengineering of
selected process, the BPR team needs to
understand the process in and out.
E.g. what it does, how well it does and
what are the critical issues that affect the
process performance etc.
Defining key performanceDefining key performance
objectivesobjectives
44
Key performance objectives are those
objectives which are expected by stake
holder and BPR team while initialising the
BPR project . This objective indicates the
success or failure of BPR project.
Designing new processDesigning new process
This is considered as most important
and crucial part of any BPR project.
According to hammer and Champy
(1993), it demands imagination,
inductive thinking, and touch of
craziness as it’s the most nakedly
creative part of entire BPR project.

 BPR must be accompanied by strategic planning, which addresses
leveraging IT as a competitive tool.
 Before implementing BPR management should create fair amount of
awareness amongst employee in order to achieve positive response
and acceptance .
 BPR must not ignore corporate culture and must emphasize constant
communication and feedback.
 Place the customer at the centre of the reengineering effort;
concentrate on reengineering fragmented processes that lead to delays
or other negative impacts on customer service.
Recommendation Contd..Recommendation Contd..
 There should be uniformity and standardisation of goal and objective to
achieve in BPR project.
 BPR must be accompanied by strong communication process
 During BPR process employee should be provided a required skill set

Our conclusion…
Our conclusion…Our conclusion…
 Change is inevitable in today’s competitive world.
Organisation has to be ready for continuous change
for success. However, the most important factor
which makes organisation successful in the race is
how fast and consistently they can adopt change.
