5. process improvement vs. reengineering
Business process improvement vs. reengineering – what is the difference?
Reengineering means the fundamental rethinking and radical redesign of business processes to achieve significant improvements in measures of performance
Business processes are usually fragmented into subprocesses and tasks carried out by several specialized functional areas within an organization
Process improvement focuses on optimizing individual subprocesses but not the entire process itself, which in theory may not yield improvements as dramatic as reengineering
Reengineering focuses on redesigning the process as a whole in order to achieve the greatest possible benefits

6. BPR: Rethink and redesign
Business process improvement vs. reengineering – what is the difference?
At a high level, the main difference lies with the scale and scope of the effort
For the purpose of today’s session, we will not draw distinctions, but simply refer to BPR for any effort to RETHINK and REDESIGN processes in order to improve organizational outcomes
Our goal is to identify practical advice and take-aways for you through our panel discussions

8. Always challenge the status quo
“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.” – Apple Inc.

9. Empower process owners
“The vast majority of public servants are hard workers who toil for the noblest of causes: making a difference in people’s lives. The real opportunity to improve government isn’t at the political level with the policymakers – it’s in the pipes.” – Ken Miller, Extreme Government Makeover

10. Assemble the right “can do” team
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” – Margaret Mead

11. Garner support for your initiatives
“My own definition of leadership is this: The capacity and the will to rally men and women to a common purpose and the character which inspires confidence.” – General Montgomery
