Negative Positive
Title: Stands the test of time
Review: There are some books that introduce new concepts or approaches that lead to changes in the way we view the world around us. Some are fads and quickly disappear into a footnote, while others become part of a stream of thought that transforms the way we manage. Reengineering the Corporation is one of the latter types of books. While it was often used as prescriptive at the time it was introduced in 1994, it has become more about the paradigms of how we view the concept of how change is designed, led and measured in business. With the advent of broad integrated business systems that logically define many business relationships, the approach recommended in the initial printing has had to evolve to accomodate the development in IT applications, however, the concept of radical change presented here remains a valuable point on the timeline of the evolution of business process managment thought. The book is well worth rereading.
