BPR Failure Cases
Paul Boucek, Business Consultant, Canada
Hello Cecile, I may have some examples from central Europe, but please define BPR as you see it. Many so called BPR failures resulted from not following BPR fundamentals and so the failures were not because of BPR, but as is often the case, poor project management.

An excellent book to read would be Managing Radical Organizational Change by Karen Newman and Stanley Nollen. Furthermore, their references will provide you with additional information. I was working at Deloitte at the time, primarily within the FI sector and could help you out should you decide to concentrate on this culture and time period.
