Carla is an Operations Manager at a bank. Customers are requesting more digitalisation of services, and Carla is considering a radical approach that streamlines decision-making and creates efficiency in the organisation's structural resources. What is this approach best known as?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The keyword here is 'radical', which is a key feature of business process reengineering (BPR).

Total quality management (A) is incorrect because TQM focuses on gradual quality improvements.

Lean (C) is incorrect because it focuses on waste reduction, which is not mentioned.

Six Sigma (D) is incorrect because it focuses on process improvement through data and system development, but it is not considered radical.

(LO 2.1, See p.68)

I remember discussing Lean in class, but that seems more about minimizing waste rather than a radical overhaul.

Total quality management is more about continuous improvement, so I don't think that's the right fit for this scenario. I'm going to go with business process reengineering.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. It could be lean as well, since that's also about streamlining processes and eliminating waste.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Lean and Six Sigma also focus on efficiency, but they're more incremental approaches. BPR sounds like the right fit for Carla's needs.
