Reengineering: Necessary Aspect of Sustainability for Organizational Development

Reengineering: Necessary Aspect of Sustainability for Organizational Development

SENTURAN, Sermin
HUSiĆ, Samir

Most of the managers believe that they have had all the debates they need to have and that the industry will continue to exist as it has for many years. But the industry is continuously deregulated, and the business must be reconfigured in this deregulated environment? There is always a fear of unknown but organizations must evaluate their needs for changing fundamentals of the business. Companies, even those with cultures receptive to process innovation, should not expect to achieve major change without making major commitments. Successful reengineering process relies on a wide range of skills. To effect needed change, organizations must somehow mobilize sufficient technological, human and organizational, political, and process expertise with the requisite enablers. This necessarily involves assigning some of their best people, or, if the firm lacks the needed skills or methods internally, employing external consultants, to design and implement new processes. Business orientation that combines process improvement and process innovation efforts is unique and uniquely relevant to current business management. It is in keeping with cultural leanings toward innovation and incorporates the rigor and measurement orientation found in the quality approaches of many successful firms.
