Abstract
This paper reviews some of the existing models for major process improvement and puts forward an overall framework for such a project. It considers the main reasons why operational change initiatives fail. A case study of process improvement in the financial services sector is used to illustrate the conclusions drawn. The critical role of vision in successful operational change is discussed.
