Figure 11 pictures in detail an organisational chart showing the activities performed during the re-engineering process and the documents generated in each step.
In the second case, re-engineering business solutions to work in a peer-to-peer fashion is a mammoth undertaking.
Initiating large social programs and re-engineering the genome will fail as surely as every holy war.
