Reengineering The Bank

In the rapidly changing financial services market, banks need to seriously reconsider their way of doing business. Reengineering the Bank helps you redesign your organization from a "blank sheet of paper" to do better things at lower cost, rather than repeat the past. Reengineering the Bank includes discussion on issues such as: reengineering to face increased competition and to redesign obsolete business practices; reducing expenses and bureaucracy to improve performance; correctly pricing products and services; increasing shareholder value and market performance through reengineering; implementing tested strategies that result in increased service quality, competitiveness and customer focus, while dramatically improving returns. Reengineering the Bank details how to undertake a reengineering program. Thorough descriptions and case studies will help you apply successful approaches to your institution. Now is the perfect time for banks to act: record spreads and profits in the industry can help to fund a forward-thinking redesign effort. But you need to seize the moment while you can because competition is too fierce, too smart and too close to home. Reengineering now can ensure your bank's continued success and competitiveness.

The Reengineering Revolution reviews the significance of the Business Process Reengineering trend for management practice since the early 1990′s. Combining empirical and theoretical perspectives, David Knights and Hugh Willmott show how both term and practice shaped the recent widely adopted policies of `downsizing′, restructuring and emphasis on `process′ rather than task. Well-known contributors analyze the impact of Business Process Reengineering in a number of settings: supermarkets and the food chain; the public sector; banks. The theoretical history of Business Process Reengineering is also detailed in relation to ideas about bureaucracy, hierarchy, transformation and design.
