Leaders tend to be satisfied with the methods that got them leadership

Current industry or competitive leaders likely are satisfied with 20^th century management that brought them to a leadership position. It is the followers, who have the most to gain by using a new breakthrough to overtake the leaders. R-pM enables the followers, be it a country, corporation, or business association to become a leader.

R-pM enables the capable follower to overtake the complacent leader

The first to implement R-pM will implement R-pM because they want to and will instill 21^st century management throughout the business. They become the leader and gain an unassailable business advantage that continues to grow over time. The followers will have to implement R-pM as well. But, they will implement R-pM because they have to. The followers, who use R-pM because they have to, will continue to fall behind the leaders, who use R-pM because they want to.

R-pM is a breakthrough to manage the business and a one-time opportunity to gain significant advantage

R-pM is a breakthrough for 21^st century management to abolish the enormous overheads, costs, and inefficiency of 20^th century management. R-pM provides an one-time opportunity for followers to become leaders. If you are a follower, as an enterprise, group, or nation, research R-pM to learn how to leap over the competition and become a leader [more...]

Enterprises today do not know costs or worth of all capital utilized

Enterprises may capture some known costs for some known capital items like fixed assets or employees. But many capital items and costs remain unknown. Development costs may be captured for some other big-ticket capital items. In this case, costs usually include costs for other undefined solutions developed in the same project. Capital worth may be assessed for some tangible items, but cannot be done for all capital to know actual enterprise net worth.

Capital costs and worth are an integral part of the business and actual business management

The enterprise business consists of output results produced, capital deployed to be utilized for the result, and performance in the utilization of capital to incur costs and produce value in results. When the business is managed, results value and quality are managed, capital worth and investment returns are managed, and performance costs and effectiveness contributing to result value-added are managed. Results and capital are managed in result-capital development to plan and manage the result value-added to cover capital development costs and provide the return on investment.

R-pM is the only way to capture capital and performance costs and assess capital worth

Result-performance Management (R-pM) is the only way to organize and manage the actual business. All capital is managed to eliminate intangible assets, unknown costs, unknown capital and enterprise business worth, and unknown return on investments. Human and other capital is managed to control costs, invest only in capital needed, develop capital to create value, and maintain and increase capital worth [more...]

Today, we organize and manage the enterprise not the business

An organized business reorganizes with each business change. There is never a need for an organization study. The generally-accepted definition of the enterprise business is the activity of providing goods and services.

20^th century methods of business organization and management do not organize and manage the activity of providing goods and services. An enterprise organization structure is laid over the business, immediately creating the unsolvable re-organization problem.

20^th century management used today is a dead-end

Since the business is not organized, the business cannot be managed. Additional enterprise management structures are contrived for the strategy, plans, business processes, accounts, systems, development, reporting, etc. The many structures create business complexity, and each structure defines the enterprise through its own entities, creating enormous information complexity.

There are unlimited ways to contrive enterprise organization and management structures. The overlaid structures conflict with the actual business creating the unsolvable 20^th century business organization and management problems.

R-pM is a new breakthrough to organize and manage the actual business

There is a need for a new breakthrough to eliminate 20^th century problems by actually organizing the business and using the business itself as one integrated structure for 21^st century management. There is only one way to organize and manage the business, Result-performance Management (R-pM) [more...]

Enterprises today have many problems with information management

Enterprises implement information systems to manage the enterprise, not the business. The many enterprise structures laid over the business require a massive workload in data collection and information processing, and produce a wide range of information concerning various enterprise entities, much of it conflicting and inaccurate. This produces enormous information complexity and excessive IT resources. Enterprises must make additional investments in hardware, information management systems, and IT architectures to attempt to manage the complexity. All the information gathered and reported describes the enterprise. No enterprise today captures actual business data.

R-pM organizes all information for support and utilization by the business

R-pM organizes information as capital for support and utilization. R-pM captures actual business data as a managed set to know value, all costs, capital worth, investment returns, etc. R-pM relates all information to the business for utilization to produce results and for control of business information. Enterprise information not related to the business is no longer processed or maintained. All emails, Internet searches and downloads, file transmissions, etc in or out of the business relate to a specific business data entity.

R-pM manages all information as one consistent Business Information Base

All information used by the business is referenced to one of six data sets that control common attributes and subsidiary data entities. The information is organized into one consistent, complete, and accurate Business Information Base. Information systems are reduced to direct system solutions to produce specific results. Large IT resources for enterprise information systems, data reconciliation, enterprise information management, portfolio and hardware management, and special information management systems are no longer needed [more...]

Enterprises continue to waste funds on dead-end 20^th century management investments

20^th century management investments have created the maze of organization and management structures laid over the business that cause today’s unsolvable problems with alignment, change management, unknown costs and value, unknown capital worth and investment returns, business and information complexity, business collaboration, and on and on. New 20^th century management investments in reorganizations, enterprise information systems, process and performance improvements, IT architectures, etc are dead-ends that add to unsolvable problems.

R-pM requires a small alternative investment to organize the business for 21^st Century Management

By comparison, R-pM is a small investment to organize and utilize existing capital to produce results along result value-quality chains and across the business. The big change with R-pM is the change in thinking to understand and manage the actual business. R-pM normally can utilize existing information systems to manage the business and can redefine existing processes and systems as solutions to produce specific results. Once the business is organized all tangible and intangible capital invested in the business is organized as performance solutions of worth to be utilized in performance to incur costs and produce value in results. All structures laid over the business are replaced by R-pM to focus on actual business data collection and provision of information and other performance solutions needed for actual business management.

All future investments are limited to specific performance solutions needed to produce value in specific results

R-pM provides the only way to plan and develop capital for a planned and measured return on investment. Capital is managed to minimize investments to those essential to the actual business. Future investments are in performance solutions needed to produce specific new or improved results. The development costs are captured and amortized against results produced and return on investment in added result value-added is captured against the performance solution. This is guided by The R-pM Toolkit, your 21^st Century Management Manual [more...]

Information Technology is a high-cost corporate overhead today

The typical corporation spends enormous sums on Information Technology and has many complex enterprise information systems, but still does not have an information system to manage the actual business, The corporation has much capital administered as IT instead of being managed for corporate benefit, and has much information administered as technology instead of being managed to provide information solutions for business and management results.

R-pM reduces enterprise information systems to essential business processing and management

Result-performance Management (R-pM) uses IT to manage the actual business as one simplified Result-performance Management System. R-pM manages system processing routines or simplified application programs as performance solutions integrated with the business process, where needed, to produce a specific result. R-pM eliminates other overlaid 20^th century information systems, duplicated and irrelevant information, and the need for a large IT overhead. R-pM organizes all capital, including IT, for capital management to produce results.

R-pM manages data, knowledge, records, and intelligence as information capital

R-pM manages all information as capital to produce data, knowledge, record, and intelligence solutions needed to produce specific business results. All information in the enterprise references a business data entity as part of one integrated Business Information Base. Information technology capital, support, and capabilities are integrated as part of normal 21^st century business capital management, replacing the IT organization and eliminating excessive IT costs [more...]

20^th century business change does not change the business

20^th century "business change" cannot change the actual business, because the business is not organized or managed. 20^th century business change is change to contrived organization and management structures laid over the business. Contrived structures conflict with the actual business creating unsolvable problems that can never be solved by new or improved 20^th century structures. So, 20^th century business change propagates unsolvable problems. Any benefit from change is from incidental improvements made rather than managed project benefits.

R-pM provides an alternative to dead-end 20^th century management

Result-performance Management (R-pM) provides a new 21^st century alternative to 20^th century business change. R-pM organizes and manage the actual business in capital available to the business, output results expected from the business, and performance to utilize capital as performance solutions to produce results. Now, with R-pM, enterprises no longer need to continue costly 20^th century business change. Enterprises can gain real competitive advantage through actual business change with R-pM. Any business change project can be redefined to organize and manage the actual business and put the enterprise on the road to complete 21^st Century Management.

R-pM manages business change projects to change and manage the actual business

R-pM can be used for a business change application as a means of introducing R-pM to the enterprise. R-pM can be used to analyze the change, organize the part of the business involved, and manage the change project. R-pM applications are supported by the R-pM Toolkit, your 21^st Century Management Manual. Eventually, R-pM can be used to organize the complete enterprise business for 21^st Century Management, and completely eliminate unsolvable 20^th century management problems [more...]

The business enterprise can be managed or the enterprise business can be managed

20^th century management utilized by enterprises today organizes and manages the business enterprise by laying organization and management structures over the business. The enterprise business is not organized and business management information is not provided for business management.

The alternative is R-pM to organize the actual enterprise business for 21^st Century Management. One simplified business structure is used for current and strategic organization and management. Actual business data is captured and actual business information is used for management.

20^th century management is a dead-end that can never solve existing or future management problems

The structures laid over the business conflict with the business creating unsolvable problems with reorganizations, change management, business alignment, unknown costs and value, unknown worth and investment returns, and on and on. The problems are compounded by the expanding use of information technology to manage overlaid structures rather than the business. New IT architectures and resources are added, but can never solve the problems and just add unsolvable problems.

The only future alternative is R-pM to organize the business for 21^st Century Management

R-pM organizes and manages the actual current and strategic business. One set of business data entities are managed and reported. All information in the business is referenced to the business in one Business Information Base. Current systems are organized as business solutions, as appropriate, and unneeded systems and structures are abolished. The business is organized to leverage IT for direct business management, flexible change, and rapid growth. The business is no longer burdened by unsolvable problems and customer value and quality is managed directly [more...]

R-pM organizes human capital as part of the business

Human capital can benefit from R-pM by understanding R-pM conceptually to increase personal productivity and worth to the 20^th century enterprise, by understanding themselves as human capital to know how to increase their capital worth, and by leveraging human capital capabilities in the organized and managed business with R-pM.

R-pM manages human capital worth against performance expectations and result value-added produced

The 20^th century enterprise organization structure places human capital into positions, jobs, functions, etc. Human capital justify their cost by the time spent in their place in the organization structure. R-pM replaces the enterprise organization structure with the business result-performance structure. R-pM provides a different perspective of human capital as specific human personnel, capability, or knowledge performance solutions deployed to meet performance expectations and produce specific results. R-pM assesses the worth of all capital on performance expectations met and the contribution to result value-added.

R-pM enables humans to improve capabilities, meet increased expectations, produce higher-value results, increase capital worth, and justify higher performance costs

R-pM benefits those who want to increase their reward by increasing result value produced to justify increase in human capital costs incurred by the enterprise. This is supported by Rule no. 8 of the 10 rules of 21^st century management; to manage human personnel, capability, and knowledge capital to increase human worth. R-pM provides one integrated organization and management structure so that humans understand the roles and responsibilities for results they produce, the other solutions they use, and the relationships to other enterprise results. Humans have opportunities and a framework to develop new capabilities and knowledge to produce higher-value results, meet increasing expectations, and increase human capital worth. For human personnel capital, human capital worth must justify human personnel costs and cost increases [more...]
