Business process reengineering (BPR) is a more radical form of process redesign that challenges underlying assumptions about how work should be done. Instead of incremental tweaks, BPR asks how to deliver the same or better outcome with far fewer steps, handovers and approvals — often enabled by technology. Consultants map current processes, run customer-journey or value-stream analysis, and then design to-be processes that remove duplication, consolidate roles and automate manual tasks. BPR is common when organisations have grown through silos, M&A or paper-based legacy processes. It can deliver significant cost, speed and customer-experience gains, but needs strong change management.
