Dimensions of Business Process Reengineering (BPR)

In all too many companies, reengineering has been not only a great success but also a great failure. After months, even years, of careful redesign, these companies achieve dramatic improvements in individual processes only to watch overall results decline.

The promise of reengineering is not empty. It can actually deliver revolutionary process improvements, and major reengineering efforts are being conducted around the world. Yet, companies cannot convey these results to the bottom line.

Business Process Reengineering (BPR) is a practice of rethinking and redesigning the way work is done to better support an organization's mission and reduce costs. In the process, there are 2 dimensions that are critical in translating these short-term narrow-focus process improvements into long term profits. Organizations just need to have a good grasp of these dimensions to effectively manage process improvements.

This framework provides organizations an in-depth understanding of BPR and its 2 dimensions:

1. Breadth (of Process Redesigned)
2. Depth (of Business Change)

Breadth and Depth are critical in translating short-term, narrow focus process improvements into long-term profits.
