Business Process Re-Design

The only constant in the current environment is that organisations have to be ready to react to change. This change can be provoked by a variety of stimuli, including but not limited to:

The customer.
Changes in technology.
Need for new business offerings.
Legislation.

More often or not the resultant change will require existing business processes to be modified in support of meeting the change.

The important distinction between now and the 90's when business process re-engineering was at the forefront of enterprise thinking is that now the re-design is usually as a result of a change and not an exercise in its own right.

Also significantly there are now business process management technology solutions (BPMS) which can help organisations better manage their business processes from both the people and technology viewpoint.

These solutions can provide significant management information which can subsequently guide future business process improvements.
