Business Process Reengineering, made famous by Michael Hammer and James Champy in the early 90s, became synonymous with downsizing and advocates tearing apart the organization and starting from scratch. BPM, on the other hand, advocates starting with a BPM project and progressing to more thorough transformation through continuous process improvement. For more information on BPR go to: wikipedia.
