	The Hocus-Pocus of Reengineering
		Reengineering, an activity in the commercial domain, should be bound by its morality, with military language and thinking left to those who must confront the prospect of getting shot at.
		Reengineering may be appropriate under emergency conditions of imminent danger-but only as long as management understands that work-force demoralization means the patient may never fully recover.
		Reengineering conveys a sense of urgency that does not dwell on much financial analysis, and certainly not on formal risk assessment; managers who tend to rely on bold strokes rebel against analytic disciplines.

	Reengineering
		We have contributed to conceptual issues in reengineering, through a "horseshoe" model in which reengineering and architectural views of software analysis and evolution are combined.
		This view represents an approach that unifies the reengineering work at different levels of abstraction: source code, functions, and architecture.
		The horseshoe is not a replacement for other reengineering or architectural analysis techniques, but rather a description of how they are complementary in the process of controlled software evolution.

	The Reengineering Revolution by Michael Hammer
		In an easy-reading, anecdotal style, the book offers behind-the-scenes stories of reengineering successes and failures; practical techniques for key aspects of reengineering, from breaking long standing assumptions to managing change; and insights into the new ways of thinking that reengineering requires.
		Reengineering the Corporation, the international bestseller is the pioneering book on the most important topic in business circles today: reengineering--the radical redesign of a company's processes, organization, and culture to achieve a quantum leap in performance.
		Reengineering has captured the imagination of managers and shareholders alike, sending corporations on journeys of radical business redesign that have already begun to transfigure global industry.

	Plan for Reengineering (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Due to the complex nature and interdependency of these processes, companies often define a portion of a process as their target for reengineering, simply because taking on the whole is an immensely difficult undertaking.
		Thus many reengineering efforts, especially those that are combined with the implementation of R/3, are grouped somewhere in the middle of the streamline-to-reinvent continuum.
		Reengineering (and implementing R/3 is a form of reengineering) must be seen as a mechanism for organizational change.

	MISQ Vol. 18, No. 3, Business Process Reengineering at CIGNA
		On reengineering projects, the odds are a lot higher." Overall, CIGNA has found in its analysis of reengineering projects that only about 50% of the reengineering efforts succeed in the first go around even if the project has senior management's full backing.
		The reengineering team carried out over 30 different diagnostics and gathered inputs from more than 1,000 PandC employees through surveys, interviews, process models, full-day customer workshops, brown paper fairs, etc. Brown paper [6] was used to map 19 different processes in order to understand their broken parts.
		Initially, outside consultants (1) educated the group on reengineering concepts, (2) furnished the group with a reengineering methodology to approach and structure projects, and (3) assisted in project leadership where this was deemed as beneficial.

	Business Process Reengineering; process simplification (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Reengineering became very popular in the early 1990s, however, the methodology and approach was not fully understood nor appreciated.
		Wheatley, on the other hand, describes the appeal of reengineering as a sign of "collective desperation." She notes "when a star is in its death stage, about to collapse on itself, it burns at its brightest, with tremendous energy and fury.
		Reengineering "ownership" must be broadened to include human resource executives, who are busy with their own renewal initiatives.

	The Fad That Forgot People
		Reengineering treated the people inside companies as if they were just so many bits and bytes, interchangable parts to be reengineered.
		Nevertheless, inside companies, reengineering was gaining acceptance as much as a way for managers to get their projects approved and financed as for the real efficiencies it could deliver.
		Finally, reengineering's enduring lesson is that the bigger the hype the greater the chances of failure.

	Reengineering
		As such, reengineering focuses on fundamental business processes as opposed to departments or organizational units.
		In Hammer and Champy’s original Manifesto reengineering was by definition radical; it could not simply be an enhancement or modification of what went before.
		Implementation of a reengineering initiative usually has considerable impact across organizational boundaries, as well as impacts on suppliers and customers.

	U.S. Copyright Office - Annual Report 2002: Reengineering
		The Copyright Office continued its extensive multi-year effort to reengineer its principal public services for the purposes of providing Copyright Office services online, ensuring prompt availability of new copyright records, providing better tracking of individual items in the workflow, and increasing acquisition of digital works for the Library of Congress collections.
		Because the four fronts of reengineering affect areas not reviewed in the original reengineering study, the Office decided to study Licensing Division processes, organization, and information technology to make recommendations for changes to provide more effective handling of its licensing and royalty responsibilities.
		Each of the four fronts can be distinguished as projects that comprise the larger reengineering program, but they interrelate and have inherent dependencies on one another.

	U.S. Copyright Office - Reengineering Program
		The reengineering initiative aims to produce a more efficient and effective customer-based registration and recordation process through specific project objectives.
