BPR has an impact often on worker's behaviour, sometimes in unexpected ways.
This short presentation shows how the customer service processes at TSB Unit
Trust were re-engineered and the resultant significant (and expected)
productivity and service improvements. This presentation was given to Wiltshire
County Council. The audience was encouraged to debate who felt most threaten
by the introduction of the work flow and document imaging system and why!
The answer lies in thinking how those impacted changed their behaviour and
why they did so. January 2004.
