Beyond Reengineering

Meer over het boek

Michael Hammer's groundbreaking work revolutionizes our understanding of business transformation, moving beyond his initial concept of reengineering. This book highlights the profound implications of adopting a customer-driven, process-centered approach to organizational structure and management. Hammer argues that to thrive in today's global economy, companies must reorganize around processes that create customer value, marking a significant departure from the Industrial Revolution's legacy. The shift entails dismantling traditional hierarchies, rigid job roles, and outdated career paths, paving the way for a new era characterized by professionals, coaches, and results-based compensation. Hammer draws on real-world examples from organizations that have successfully made this transition, presenting a compelling vision of the future of work and management. This transformative perspective is essential reading for executives, employees, students, and investors alike, as it prepares them for a rapidly changing economic landscape where conventional business rules no longer apply. The insights provided not only forecast the evolution of business but also emphasize the importance of adapting to these changes for personal and professional success.
