Self-Centeredness- A Symptom Of Thinking Small In Business Process ReengineeringConnections

Self-centeredness has become a staple of our modern society and causes grave concern in business process reengineering. Rare nowadays are situations where a person gives up on personal ambition to aid in the betterment of another individual. It does happen but at far less frequency than someone who looks out only for his or her personal interests.

From a business process perspective, humans make decisions about the actions that they take. Before taking an action, one's mind processes multiple inputs about a given situation as part of the decision-making process. If the inputs into the mind are limited, than a particular decision may be made that is not an optimal one. For instance, failing to think outside one's individual role within an organization may lead that person to provide short-sighted input in a business process reengineering effort. Such input, when given in the absence of the larger context can be harmful if not undermine the entire process.
