Manage Capital Development as Result-capital Development to Achieve Planned Returns

March 27th, 2008

All capital development is result-capital development to develop solutions to produce results

All capital development develops capital as performance solutions to be utilized to create additional value in output results produced by the business. The additional value of output results provides the return on the capital development investment. If the performance solutions utilized and the results produced by the business are not managed, capital development cannot be managed properly and the return on investment cannot be measured. Therefore, capital development must be planned and managed as result-capital development.

20th century management does not organize or manage results or performance

20th century management does not manage the business. Specific results produced and performance solutions utilized are not defined and managed as sets. Added result value cannot be managed to provide benefits and specific performance solutions developed cannot be managed to know costs. Capital development is a separate exercise to develop performance or tangible assets to produce some estimated return on investment.

R-pM manages result-capital development as part of the business for measured and managed return

The answer for all future result-capital development is Result-performance Management (R-pM) to organize the business for 21st Century Management. R-pM manages performance solutions utilized and the business results produced to plan and manage the value added to results. R-pM manages new performance solution development to produce new or improved results. R-pM manages each result-capital development project as part of the business with its own project business structure. R-pM manages implemented solution development and operating costs and the additional value-added to results to measure the actual return on investments. R-pM is the essential approach for any new result-capital development. It is all described in The R-pM Toolkit, your 21st Century Management Manual [more...]

Business “Results” and “Performance” are not clearly defined today

March 20th, 2008

20th century business definitions are confusing and imprecise

What is your definition of an "enterprise" or the "business"? How do you or your performance management methods define "performance"? How do you define "result"?

Precise definitions are needed to organize and manage the business of the enterprise properly. Current definitions of performance mix performance activity together with output results and report and manage both as "performance". Current usage of the term "result" is as economic outputs that leave the enterprise.

The definition of the business conflicts with the definition of performance and results

Yet, the generally-accepted definition of the enterprise business as "the activity of providing goods and services" indicates that the enterprise business has two components:

  • The performance component in business activity
  • The result component in the goods, and services provided

20th century management is unable to organize and manage the two components of the business because performance and results are mixed together and managed as performance.

R-pM precisely defines business, performance, and results for 21st Century Management

Properly defining "performance" and "result" and then separating results from performance are the first steps to organizing the enterprise business for 21st Century Management [more...]
