R-pM defines actual business organization and management

R-pM provides the concepts, procedures, and learning so that any enterprise can organize and manage the actual business. Part of R-pM is 21^st Century Management to provide the framework for business operations, education, services, and solutions that can be utilized effectively by any business.

21^st Century Management provides the framework for collaboration and common solutions

R-pM is designed to simplify the business and to provide the foundation for business collaboration and common education, services, and performance solutions that any business can use. This requires a minimum set of fundamentally-correct and consistent 21^st Century Management conventions, definitions, and standards that are followed by R-pM users, educators, business management software and solutions, and service providers to reduce business costs and enable effective communications and collaboration.

21^st Century Management is documented in The R-pM Toolkit.

21^st Century Management descriptions are included in all R-pM Toolkit documentation. The 21^st Century Management conventions, and definitions are included in the current R-pM Toolkit. Additional 21^st Century Management conventions will be refined and included in future R-pM Toolkit updates. 21^st Century Management standards will evolve as R-pM is employed in practice.

The R-pM Community can provide inputs into 21^st Century Management

The intention is to make 21^st Century Management a product of the R-pM community so that anyone can contribute their ideas and requirements to be reviewed for inclusion in the continuing development and refinement of 21^st Century Management [more...]

Information is not managed as capital for support and utilization

Today’s enterprise captures information on a multitude of entities that describe structures laid over the business, but captures little information on the few entities that describe the actual business. The many enterprise information systems produce enormous amounts of information. However, little is managed as information capital to be used to operate, improve, and manage the business. Much information is managed by the wrong capabilities, such as management accounting and data management by IT. Most information just adds to the information complexity and overload problems.

The explosion in enterprise information demands new information simplification and management solutions

With emails, internet searches, file transfers, etc information is entering and leaving the enterprise at a high rate and enterprises have no way consolidate information or consistently reference information to the business. Additional structures are laid over the business to reconcile and classify information. Special information systems are needed to locate, extract, reconcile, and report information of use to management. Additional investments are being made in various document, record, report, content, etc management systems to manage information scattered around the enterprise.

This cannot solve the problem. The only way to solve the problem is the simplify and organize the business as a few specific data entities, and professionally manage all data, knowledge, records, and intelligence through reference to these few data entities.

R-pM organizes information capital for delivery and utilization by the business

Result-performance Management organizes the business to capture data and produce other information related directly to the business and to eliminate data collection and information reporting not related to the business. All information in, entering, or leaving the business is referenced to a result, performance solution, or other business entity. Management information is captured and reported on the business for decisions to add, change, or close output results or capital utilized as performance solutions

R-pM organizes information capital for professional support and development

All information capital is categorized as business data, human knowledge, facility records, and management intelligence for professional maintenance of information and development of information solutions to produce business and management results [more...]

20^th century management produces waste and inefficiency

20^th century management requires enormous overheads and waste by laying many organization and management structures over the business rather than organizing and managing the business directly. Business, human, and management capital is not developed and managed to be utilized effectively by the business. Management does not have the information or methods for socially-responsible business management.

R-pM organizes the business for socially-responsible 21^st Century Management

Result-performance Management (R-pM) is the future of socially-responsible business management. R-pM organizes and manages the business directly to eliminate wasteful overheads, utilize energy and supplies efficiently, maximize human capabilities, and apply responsible management policies and practices [more...]
