20^th century management lays a monolithic business process over the business. Results are mixed with performance and defined as "performance" preventing actual business management. The objective is to manage "performance quality", but costs, value, effectiveness, and quality are hidden in the process.

Rule No. 2 of 21^st Century Management is to "Generate profits from a chain of managed value and quality". Result-performance Management (R-pM) replaces business processes with result value-quality chains to organize and manage the actual business to manage performance capacity to produce a result volume, performance effectiveness producing result quality, and performance costs creating result value. Result value-added is the result value less the total result cost. The actual business is managed to generate profits from a chain of managed result value-added. Contrived overlaid business processes are abolished. [more...]

The business enterprise is managed with 20^th century management by laying enterprise organization and management structures over the business. The structures conflict with the business causing unsolvable 20^th century management problems with reorganization, alignment, business and information complexity, change management, intangible assets, unknown costs and value, and on and on.

20^th century management does not provide a solid business foundation and introduces many conflicting, complex, and high-cost structures. Problems with reorganization, unknown costs, unmanaged value, unplanned capital development returns, business alignment, intangible assets, unknown capital and enterprise worth, inaccurate business records, business and information complexity, growing IT overheads, and on and on, have been known for years. Years of 20^th century management teachings, books, consulting, software, and solutions have made the business more complex, and have never solved the unsolvable problems of 20^th century management.

Now there is a way to escape the straight jacket of 20^th century management. Result-performance Management (R-pM) organizes the actual business as a firm foundation for simple and direct 21^st Century Management [more...]
