Abstract: Business Process Reengineering (BPR) methods have changed significantly over the last two decades. In today's business environment, competitive advantage (CA) is driven by cross-functional process architectures that can quickly respond to changing customer/supplier needs. Designing such a high degree of process flexibility into a modern corporate environment requires new tools, strategies and methods. This research paper shows that CA can be achieved by developing a process-centric organisational awareness and that process flexibility can be institutionalised through the organisational planning cycle.
