Praise for 24/7 Innovation
Reengineering had a profound impact on the business world in the 1990s. Unlike previous management consultant techniques, BPR put the spotlight on operational performance rather than abstract strategy. Reengineering also led us to Process Centered Organizations. Now, 24/7 Innovation builds on these concepts, and with its focus on adaptability, adds in the strand of eCommerce, and weaves a compelling picture of what will be needed to win in the new millennium.
