Today we have many generally-accepted accounting problems

Accounting is a major problem in the 20^th century enterprise. Management is faced with generally-accepted accounting problems. Financial records are missing for much of the business cycle. Management financial information is inconsistent, inaccurate, and incomplete. Many well-known problems like intangible assets, unknown costs, unknown capital worth, unknown investment returns, unknown value creation continue unsolved. Accounting is often equated to records management. Most enterprise non-financial records are scattered, missing, and mismanaged.

Today's enterprise cannot manage the business in capital, performance, or results

Today’s enterprise cannot manage the business, since organization, process, account, activity, human resource, and other rigid management structures are laid over the actual business. The business consists of capital invested as solutions in the business, business performance in the utilization of capital solutions, and output results produced by business performance. Structures laid over the business conflict with the real changing business causing unsolvable 20^th century management problems.

All enterprises are burdened by 20^th century management problems today

Enterprises can compete today, not because they are efficient and effective, but, because they are all inefficient and ineffective. All businesses today lay organization and management structures over the business that conflict with the actual business and cause unsolvable problems that can never be solved by laying new structures over the business.

The first to organize the real business for 21^st Century Management gain significant competitive advantage

The business consists of three components: capital investments made in the business in specific capital solutions of developed worth, output results of value and quality that must be produced for business success, and performance in the utilization of specific solutions to incur costs and provide effectiveness to produce specific results.

Financial management used today has never solved financial management problems

Why do we have unsolvable financial management problems like intangible assets, unknown costs and value, distorted capital worth, un-managed investments and returns, and ill-informed corporate governance? The problems exist because we do not organize and manage the business and we do not organize and manage the capital utilized in the business. Financial management of cash and accruals does not provide accurate business financial management, and is separated from other tangible capital creating capital management problems.

R-pM manages financial and other capital as part of the business

The solution is Result-performance Management (R-pM) to organize the business and the capital utilized for 21^st Century Management. Financial facilities are part of facility capital that manages traditional tangible assets.

Re-organizations are unnecessary 20th century management problems

Re-organization, one of the top 10 problems of 20^th century management, occurs because we organize people and power, and not the business. If 20^th century business organization methods organized the business, the organization would change with business change.

The organization structure is the fatal error that prevents business organization and management

The organization structure is not a management prerogative or political football. The business organization is a business capital solution that provides the foundation for 21^st century management. Once an organization structure is laid over the business, the business cannot be organized or managed.

Use R-pM to organize the business for 21^st Century Management

Organize your business results, your capital investments in solutions, and utilization of solutions in performance to produce results. Then deploy human capital, where they are qualified to manage and produce results, for 21^st century management, and leave 20^th century re-organizations and other unsolvable problems behind.

Business change is a mystery because the business is not managed

Business change is a mystery in 20^th century management today with “intangible assets”, “unknown costs”, unmanaged value, and “ad-hoc projects”. In order to manage change to the business, the enterprise must first organize and manage the business to manage all capital solutions utilized in performance to produce specific results.

"Business change" does not change the business, but changes structures laid over the business

20^th century "business change" changes organization, business process, information system, account, and performance management structures laid over the business. The actual business lies buried under the structures and changes continually with each result or capital solution change. "Business change" is periodic to align overlaid structures with the business and to lay new structures over the business.

R-pM directly changes an organized business as part of the daily routine

Result-performance Management (R-pM) organizes the business to take the mystery out of business change. R-pM manages the results and capital solutions that change day to day to continually reorganize the business.

20^th century management problems can never be solved by conventional thinking

Unsolvable problems of 20^th century management with reorganization, alignment, costs, value, worth, investments, returns, intangible assets, complexity, etc are well known. Solutions are prevented by conventional thinking that allows only incremental improvements in the way that things have always be done and prevents the breakthrough needed to find a new way to do things to actually solve the problem.

Conventional thinking limits the worth of individual human capital

People need to go beyond conventional thinking to gain new capabilities and knowledge to increase their worth by producing higher value results. But conventional thinking prevents this, because the enterprise has never managed human personnel, capabilities, and knowledge as capital, never developed human capabilities as solutions to produce results, never managed result value created, and never managed the worth of human capital.

All the enterprise needs to do is to organize the business for a base of new conventional thinking in the 21^st Century

But the enterprise cannot organize the business, the activity of providing goods and services, because it is not the way things have always been done. High-worth human capital must go beyond conventional thinking to support R-pM and gain the advantaged of managing human capital worth with R-pM. If you can go beyond conventional thinking and increase your own human capital worth look at using Result-performance Management to organize the activity of providing goods and services for 21^st century management, and provide a new base for conventional thinking in the 21^st century.

20^th century management does not provide competitive differentiation and advantage for the 21^st century

Management structures laid over the business in today’s enterprises cannot create competitive differentiation and advantage from utilization of technology, the Internet, and intellectual capital. A new business structure is required to enable competitive advantage in the 21^st century. The obstacle is conventional thinking that prevents a complete new definition of the business and continues to improve obsolete management structures laid over the business.

The 21^st century presents new requirements for competitive differentiation and advantage

In the 21st century, business competition and collaboration can come from anywhere in the world. Competitive differentiation and advantage in the 21^st century requires that the business is simplified for fast and flexible change, is organized to utilize technology effectively and enable business communication and collaboration, and is managed to provide customer value and quality.

R-pM provides significant new competitive differentiators and advantages for the 21^st century

21^st century competitive differentiation and advantage is provided by Result-performance Management (R-pM). R-pM uses information technology to organize the actual business for significant competitive advantage in the 21^st century. R-pM organizes business capital invested, performance to utilize capital, and output results produced to provide competitive differentiation in high value and quality customer results. R-pM makes the unorganized business burdened by overlaid structures a distinct competitive disadvantage in the 21^st century. [more...]

"Business Transformation" has never organized or transformed the business

"Business Transformation" brings shudders to many managers, who went through Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) only to find that they spent a lot of money for different problems and limited benefits.

The problem was that "business transformation" did not transform the business. Transformation changed enterprise organization and management structures laid over the business. The enterprise business, the activity of providing goods and services, still was not organized or managed before or after the "business transformation".

The one "business transformation" is the transformation from enterprise management to actual business management

Enterprises need only one real business transformation to organize and manage the business with Result-performance Management (R-pM). Once the business is organized and managed through one business structure, there is never a need for business transformation, since the business organization changes naturally with business change.
