Synopsis

No business concept was more important to America's economic revival in the 1990s than reengineering -- introduced to the world in Michael Hammer and James Champy's Reengineering the Corporation. Already a classic, this international bestseller describes how the radical redesign of a company's processes, organization, and culture can achieve a quantum leap in performance.But if you think that reengineering once was enough, think again. More changes, more challenges are coming in the twenty-first century. Now Hammer and Champy have updated and revised their milestone work for the New Economy they helped to create -- promising to help corporations save hundreds of millions of dollars more, raise their customer satisfaction still higher, and grow ever more nimble in the years to come.

A very good book that describes the difference between continuous process improvement and reengineering (or building a process from scratch). The business examples were useful as were the "reason for failure" chapter. I would love to find a good book on how to build a learning game like the one discu......more

Goodreads review by Lamec on January 06, 2013
