You cannot manage your business today, due to overlaid structures

Business schools, management books, systems and solutions, and professional bodies have never defined the real business and continue to lay obsolete 20th century management structures over the changing business. You are taught to organize with an organization structure; to plan with maps, corporate plans, and budgets; to direct with processes, functions, and systems; to control with account charts, activity costing, and quality structures; and to report with scorecards and financial statements. Overlaid structures prevent you from managing your business.

Overlaid structures cause many costly, unsolvable business problems

Rigid 20th century structures conflict with your changing business and produce information complexity, hamper business change, require excessive IT resources, incur high costs, and cause recurring unsolvable problems with reorganization, alignment, "business complexity", "business change", unknown costs and value, unknown capital worth and returns, intangible assets, IT and business conflicts, investments, projects, inaccurate information, corporate governance, quality, collaboration, outsourcing, IT overheads, and on and on. 20th century management is a dead-end. New 20th century structures can never solve these problems, but just escalate IT and other costs.

The current financial crisis exposes unsolvable 20th century problems

Here we go again. We had the savings and loan crisis 20 years ago and never solved the unsolvable problems with existing management methods. The same problems are causing the current financial crisis. We need to wake up to the failures of obsolete 20th century management as explained in the articles "The Financial Crisis Exposes the Problems of Current Management Methods" and "A Trillion Dollars to Restore Confidence in poorly-managed Institutions". Instead of just paying high-worth cash for low-worth assets, it is much more important to invest in R-pM to organize and manage our businesses and prevent future re-occurrence of the same unsolved problems.

Set outdated teachings aside to learn R-pM and your real business

We are all burdened by lifetimes of teachings and experience that prevent business management. You must rethink and learn your real business. Result-performance Management (R-pM) defines the business as “investments in capital as solutions of worth utilized for costs and effectiveness of performance to produce value and quality in results”. Today, you make many large capital investments, but cannot manage capital solution investment costs, worth, return, and utilization. You must produce specific output results for success, but cannot manage result chains, volume, value, and quality. You utilize specific capital solutions in performance to produce specific results, but cannot manage solution performance cost-effectiveness, result value-quality, and value-added.

You manage your personal business naturally, without structures

You already know how to manage a business. You manage your personal business naturally. You use capital as solutions in your time, capabilities, possessions, money, and services to incur performance costs to produce personal results, like a meal, repaired item, or good time. To be happy with a result, the value must exceed the performance costs. Your performance effectiveness produces result quality. You manage your business naturally. But, at work, you cannot manage naturally. You manage contrived 20th century structures laid over your business. You also can be the one to change that by introducing R-pM for natural 21st Century Management in your business.

Use R-pM to manage costs, value-added, quality, and investments

The only way to clear away 20th century structures is to organize the actual business. R-pM plans investments as specific capital solutions to add value to specific results for the managed return. Capital provides solutions like business and system processes, human personnel and capabilities, equipment and supply facilities, management strategy and tactics, and information. Results are product sold, service delivered, learning completed, solution implemented, investment planned, etc produced across the business. End-results order booked, order filled, invoice prepared, and order delivered form a value-quality chain that produces the order fulfilled set-result.

Performance is the utilization of a solution to incur a cost to produce a result. All solutions utilized are managed for the volume or count of results. The result value less total solution costs is the result value-added that should be positive along a chain and across the business. Results, capital, and performance are organized in business structures used for all planning, direction, control, and reporting; replacing overlaid structures. You can focus on your business, know costs and value, and manage the value added across the business to the profit result.

Focus on business results for significant competitive advantage

R-pM organizes capital as business, human, facility, and management solutions. R-pM organizes results as revenue (product sold), capital (machine repaired), and investment (project complete) results. R-pM organizes the business by deploying capital solutions, like responsible unit and manager, with rules to produce results. R-pM uses existing information systems to capture data and manage performance in cost-effective solutions used to produce value-quality results. The business is updated for every new or closed result or changed solution.

R-pM supports all capital and manages cost-effective solutions for value-quality result by result. Actual business data is captured for one set of business information. A strategic business structure plans strategic results and capital solution development. Actual results are governed against goals and strategic estimates by period.

Existing capital is organized in the business. 20th century structures, costs, and problems are left behind. You benefit from R-pM breakthroughs like result-performance costing, measured value creation and investment returns, value-quality chains, professionally-managed capital, result-capital development projects, accurate records, information capital indexed to the business, managed capital worth, actual business information systems; plus common 21st Century Management terms, standards, solutions, services, and learning used by any business.

Learn, organize, and manage the business now covered by structures

The big change is the change in thinking to learn, organize, and manage your business, which operates today under the maze of overlaid structures. Today, you invest in capital solutions of worth and utilize solutions in performance to produce results. But you are unable to measure and manage capital worth, performance costs, or result value-quality. You must identify, document, and gain control of your business through three phases:

  1. Learn the business: Use the R-pM toolkit for management and staff learning and exercises to document capital as specific solutions, economic outputs as results, and performance as solutions that produce results
  2. Organize the business: Organize the business in your general ledger or relational database system. Establish result relationships and metrics, performance indicators, and capital measures as possible. Identify result production and business data generated by your application systems. Prepare alternate accounts and generate journal entries by result and capital solution identifier. Test your organized business against the current business and learn new management information available. Think of the business strictly in terms of results to produce, capital available, and solutions to utilize in performance
  3. Manage the business: Begin to use R-pm to manage your actual business. Remove overlaid structures, when R-pM provides the proven functionality. Follow-up on problems and areas of slow adoption. Employ common sense for business organization, planning, direction, control, reporting, and governance.
Once R-pM is learned and old methods, structures, information processing, and workloads are removed, business management becomes transparent and straight-forward. R-pM provides 21st Century Management conventions, definitions, and standards and one complete and accurate set of business data and management information.

Today's enterprise cannot compete with your 21st century business

You can compete today because all enterprises employ obsolete 20th century management and incur similar costs, IT overheads, and unsolvable problems. Your enterprise of today cannot compete with your and other organized businesses of tomorrow that invest in specific capital and optimize performance to increase result value, develop human and other capital worth to increase result value-added, plan strategic value creation with specific goals, manage result chains to assure customer value and quality, and collaborate for the highest shared value-added.

The R-pM investment is far less than new 20th century management

Enterprises today have no appreciation of the amount of capital, money, and human effort wasted due to 20th century management structures, and continue to invest in obsolete reorganizations, enterprise information systems, process and performance improvements, IT architectures, etc that compound problems. The investment in R-pM to organize the business for 21st Century Management is relatively small, with enormous benefit in increased customer value-quality and 20th century management work, waste, costs, and problems left behind. It costs little to test R-pM on a part of your business to learn your real business and the real benefits of R-pM. Once R-pM is in use, new investments are minimized to capital justified to produce specific new or improved results.

The competitive advantages of R-pM for 21st Century Management

R-pM organizes and manages the existing business, without the need for other investments. R-pM is utilized only after the actual business is organized and understood to minimize problems. Today's workloads and costs are abolished. Management and personnel think of solutions to utilize and results to produce. Work assignments are specific results with value-added and completion goals. Result value and quality is maximized across the business. Capital utilization increases significantly with corresponding cost reductions. Result value-added increases go to the profit result. R-pM provides breakthrough benefits and competitive advantages that are impossible today.

  • Eliminate information systems, workloads, costs, and problems of restrictive overlaid structures
  • Integrate management organization, planning, direction, control and reporting of the actual business
  • Manage capital to acquire, develop, and support solutions and eliminate intangible assets
  • Manage results to ensure value-quality of all outputs to meet deadlines and achieve business goals
  • Manage performance to provide qualified solutions to meet expectations and produce value-quality results
  • Plan result value creation and result-performance development for the strategic business in 2-5 years
  • Manage result-performance development to implement solutions of worth and gain result value return

  • Integrate suppliers, partners, outsourcing, and customers in value-quality chains to maximize shared value
  • Use 21st Century Management conventions for business collaboration and common services and solutions

These and other benefits become obvious as you learn R-pM. Your competitors are organizing their businesses to focus on customer value and quality to gain these benefits. Will your unorganized business be able to compete?

R-pM is the future of business organization and management

It is time to leave the 20th century behind. Do not mix R-pM with 20th century methods. 21st Century Management supersedes 20th century management. Implement R-pM and maintain standard 21st Century Management for consistency, communications, and collaboration. Licensed solution providers and service firms develop education and learning, information systems, business solutions, and management services applicable to any business.

Business owners, investors, lenders, shareholders, and directors are the main beneficiaries of R-pM. They must lead management to use R-pM to slash costs, optimize performance, manage all result quality, maximize revenue, report accurate information, integrate partners and customers, utilize low-cost solutions, govern strategic value, develop human worth, manage development for planned returns, and gain many other benefits not possible today.
