Summary
Revised and updated for the new economy， this text describes how the radical redesign of a company's processes， organization and culture can achieve a quantum leap in performance。 In the 1990s， reengineering was implemented in the back office， the factory and the warehouse。 For the new century it is being applied to the front office and the revenue producing side of the business。

I was fascinated by this book。 I believe everyone who works at an organization will get a lot of value from this， whether the reader comes from a small business or a corporation。 It will persuade you to look at your job from a different perspective。 Even though it was originally published several years ago， I believe it contents to be more relevant than ever in the "new normal"。 Structuring a company or jobs by processes instead of mere tasks （while leveraging information technology） can drastic I was fascinated by this book。 I believe everyone who works at an organization will get a lot of value from this， whether the reader comes from a small business or a corporation。 It will persuade you to look at your job from a different perspective。 Even though it was originally published several years ago， I believe it contents to be more relevant than ever in the "new normal"。 Structuring a company or jobs by processes instead of mere tasks （while leveraging information technology） can drastically improve efficiency within an organization。 The book first introduces you tho this approach and then supports it with a variety of examples and real world cases that ultimately makes "Re-Engineering" highly compelling。 Yet， it also mentions its challenges and various reasons why it would not work。 This is not your typical "3 rules to improve your business"， it goes much deeper。 I would love to know/hear managers' point of view regarding this topic。 。。。more

Evolution， it seems， doesn’t follow one slow， methodical path towards progress。 It stalls。 It leaps。 What we see as a smoothness is an illusion caused by the distance of time。 Even evolution reaches points where slow and steady won’t win the race。 Instead， it’s time for something radical to happen。 That’s what reengineering a corporation is。 It’s a radical change。 Reengineering the Corporation: Manifesto for Business Revolution is a guide to this radical process that organizations must go throug Evolution， it seems， doesn’t follow one slow， methodical path towards progress。 It stalls。 It leaps。 What we see as a smoothness is an illusion caused by the distance of time。 Even evolution reaches points where slow and steady won’t win the race。 Instead， it’s time for something radical to happen。 That’s what reengineering a corporation is。 It’s a radical change。 Reengineering the Corporation: Manifesto for Business Revolution is a guide to this radical process that organizations must go through at some point – or several points during their lifecycle。Read more 。。。more

A nice introduction。 I read after being in the process field for quite sometime。 I think it was natural to read the beginning of the work performed。 Safe to say， most of the issues then are still relevant today。

Starts really strong but tapers out a little bit。 Some very good insights into company structure and processes。 3。5/5

Um dos primeiros livros de negócios que li。 Fez muito sentido na época。 Abusaram da fórmula。 A turma de BPM deveria conhecê-lo。

Este libro describe la metodología para reinventar una empresa a través de sus procesos， pensándolos desde cero。Promete resultados fantásticos （mejoras del rendimiento superiores al 100%） pero advierte también que la mayoría de proyectos de reingeniería fracasan （y cuenta por que suelen hacerlo）。La traducción es mejorable。

The first half of the book is a good and insightful read into how to make radical changes。 But after some point it becomes a bit redundant。 Overall a good read for those looking to bring about changes in existing companies and their systems and procedures。

Short， sweet， and to the point。 Has some good ideas， less specialization and more efficiency。

This book gets five stars because it saved my business， if not my life。 My business partner and I had been working 100+ hour weeks for months （I'd go home at midnight， come back at five or six and ask him if he was already back or still there - he'd typically answer "still here"）。 Clothes we would typically promise tomorrow were now being promised back a week from tomorrow - and they were still not done in time。 It was Labor Day weekend and I was supposed to go to Hilton Head with my wife， but o This book gets five stars because it saved my business， if not my life。 My business partner and I had been working 100+ hour weeks for months （I'd go home at midnight， come back at five or six and ask him if he was already back or still there - he'd typically answer "still here"）。 Clothes we would typically promise tomorrow were now being promised back a week from tomorrow - and they were still not done in time。 It was Labor Day weekend and I was supposed to go to Hilton Head with my wife， but our dry cleaning plant manager ended up in the hospital and the cleaning duties fell to me。 Our main cleaning machine suffered a major malfunction， putting us even further behind。 I ended up calling on a fellow friend in the business to let me use his equipment。 I could go on and on （my wife called on Labor Day to tell me about this great unknown band she'd seen the night before at the last show ever at the famed HH post office by the name of Hootie & the Blowfish - that didn't make me feel any better）。 Anyway， I spent that Labor Day at my friend's cleaners， catching up best I could。 I then stopped at a local park on the way home and began reading this book， which had been given to me by my wife （"here， read this - I'll be in Hilton Head if you need anything"）。 Almost immediately the book began providing insight into the types of challenges we faced and the potential solutions。 One， involving the flow of an unpaid invoice through IBM's accounting maze provided the framework for a solution to our production woes。 A month later I took my first day off since the 4th of July。 I credit this book， my business partner， my wife and our employees for making that possible。 I don't know how much longer I could have survived。 So， yes， this book saved a business and a life - and if that doesn't merit five stars， nothing does。 。。。more

I'll be honest with you。 It took me a month to power through this book， and I only did so after my boss made me。 I always retain book facts well but with this book I remembered just enough to pass off my knowledge in it but a year later I don't remember anything and that says something。 Maybe with a better mindset going in i might have liked it more， but probably not lol I'll be honest with you。 It took me a month to power through this book， and I only did so after my boss made me。 I always retain book facts well but with this book I remembered just enough to pass off my knowledge in it but a year later I don't remember anything and that says something。 Maybe with a better mindset going in i might have liked it more， but probably not lol 。。。more

- Conceptual book about re-engineering without strong methodology- A lot of ideas are taken from toyota lean （value-stream， value to customer， etc。） but not explained clearly。

I have already finished this lecture and it is interesting from the beginning to the end; I had learn new things， concepts and strategies that can be useful for the company where currently I work in; and seeing the examples and errors in processes， there is big desire to have the chance for being part of a reengineering implementation here。It is a very good tool to have in mind even in personal life。I like it a lot。

Outdated management philosophy？ Look instead at how Toyota do Lean， the Agile movement or Lean kanban ways to do software development。

This was an excellent book for anyone looking to transform their organization。 It is not easy or popular， but reengineering is the vaccine a dying organization needs in order to live。 However， it must be the leaders the own the transformation。
