title: Re-engineering: managing radical change.
abstract: Faced with both a move to a new facility and the need for radical, cost-saving organizational change, the Ontario Cancer Institute/Princess Margaret Hospital turned to the principles of re-engineering. With the help of a consulting firm, the organization overhauled sufficiently to save $7.5 million, enough to finance the move, the transition and even the expansion of some services.
