Result-performance Management: Three Dimensions of 21st Century Management
July 28th, 2008Today'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 20th century management problems.
Capital, performance, and results must be organized to organize the business
Result-performance Management (R-pM) organizes the business for 21st century management. R-pM organizes capital as business, human, facility, and management solutions. R-pM organizes results to produce revenues, manage and support capital, and manage and develop the current to strategic business. R-pM organizes performance to utilize specific solutions to incur costs to produce value in a result.
R-pM manages the business in three dimensions: result, performance, and management
R-pM manages results produced across the business to provide value and quality to customers and reach revenue result goals. R-pM optimizes performance for each capital solution utilized to produce results to provide high-worth solutions that produce result value and quality at a controlled cost to reach profit margin result goals. R-pM provides management over time to manage and collaborate in value-quality chains, to plan and manage capital development and result value-added benefits, and to govern the business to reach strategic value result goal [more...]
Comprehensive Financial and Capital Management with R-pM
July 21st, 2008Financial 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 21st Century Management. Financial facilities are part of facility capital that manages traditional tangible assets. Financial management is part of facility capital management to integrate and manage all facility financial and equipment assets, facility supply, and financial and non-financial facility records. R-pM eliminates unsolvable financial management problems and manages and reports all financial and other capital as part of actual business operation and development.
R-pM develops specific capital solutions, utilizes all solutions to produce value in results, and manages all investment returns
R-pM provides comprehensive facility capital management to manage all financial and non-financial reusable facility equipment, consumable facility supply, and facility record capital to produce value in results. R-pM manages all capital as part of the business to be developed and supported, and to be utilized in performance to produce output results of value. R-pm uses information technology to manage all capital solutions to know capital worth, development costs, un-amortized balance, performance costs, attributable result value-added, and return of the solution investment.

Organize the Business, then deploy Human Capital
July 17th, 2008Re-organizations are unnecessary 20th century management problems
Re-organization, one of the top 10 problems of 20th century management, occurs because we organize people and power, and not the business. If 20th 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 21st 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 21st 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 21st century management, and leave 20th century re-organizations and other unsolvable problems behind. [more...]
Take the Mystery out of Business Change
July 14th, 2008Business change is a mystery because the business is not managed
Business change is a mystery in 20th 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
20th 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. Business change projects use R-pM to implement specific new capital solutions to add value to specific results, provide effective project management, set operational responsibilities for results against goals and solution performance against expectations, measure the return on change investments, manage costs arising from change, manage solution and business worth, and enable beneficial business change management consulting services.

Result-performance Management is the Final Business Transformation
July 3rd, 2008"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.
