Many managers are interested in R-pM, but are concerned about the authenticity of R-pM

People ask how R-pM originated. Some people are concerned about the authenticity and viability of R-pM.

20^th century management problems were encountered and the need for R-pM was conceived piece by piece over 30 years, on business organization, management improvement, and system development projects with such firms as Booz Allen and Hamilton, Multinational Management, Price Waterhouse, A.T. Kearney, and Arthur D. Little.

R-pM was originally developed as aids to capital solution development and management improvement projects

R-pM first evolved as an aid to business and information systems design and later to manage business change projects, both the project and the changes to the business as the results of the project. It became clear that the only solution to business organization and management problems was to organize and manage the business. Contrived organization and management structures laid over the business had to be eliminated.

Formal development of Result-performance Management began in 2002

After retiring from active consulting, work began in 2002, to develop and document Result-performance Management (R-pM) as the one structure to organize and manage the business. The R-pM Toolkit is now available, and continues to be developed as R-pM evolves. R-pM is now launched for use in business change applications and for use in forward-looking enterprises that want to learn their actual business, and then organize and manage the business for breakthrough cost reductions and competitive advantages.

Alignment is an unsolvable 20^th century management problem

All enterprises have alignment problems in aligning management strategy with actual operations, operations with the actual business, outsourced solutions with internal solutions, intangible assets with tangible assets, capital investments with the business, account charts with the business, management decisions with business change, and on and on. The problem is the attempt to align capital utilized in performance with other capital utilized in performance.

Performance is aligned with poorly-defined performance, since the business is not organized

Performance is defined to include not only the utilization of capital in the execution of actions but also the results accomplished. This makes it difficult to organize and manage the business as capital solutions of worth utilized in performance to produce value in results. The three components of the business in results needed for success, capital investments to provide solutions, and performance in the utilization of solutions to produce results are confused as performance. 20^th century management has never defined results needed for business success as a set or capital utilized in performance as set of solutions. Therefore, there are no defined results to align capital utilized in performance against.

R-pM separates results and capital from performance to organize the actual business and align solutions with results

R-pM organizes the business as a structure of results produced, capital solutions available, and specific solutions utilized in performance to produce a result. Solutions utilized in performance to produce the same result are defined, aligned, integrated, and utilized to incur performance costs that can be totaled to the total performance cost to produce a volume of the result of determined value to create result value-added.

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. R-pm organizes the business for 21^st Century Management to provide immediate competitive advantages.

R-pM manages capital worth and performance to minimize costs and maximize result value-added and quality across the business

With R-pM all management and personnel know the solutions they must utilize effectively and the value and quality they must produce in results. Capital is developed only to increase result value-added and the worth of human and other capital.

The actual business is managed to quickly change capital utilized and results produced and to integrate with suppliers, business partners, and customers for shared value-added. R-pM provides measurable competitive differentiation and advantage not possible today with 20^th century management. [more...]

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.

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...]

R-pM organizes business results, capital, and performance in one business structure

Result-performance Management (R-pM) organizes and manages one integrated enterprise business structure. The business structure is comprised of the result structure to organize and relate results to be produced, the capital structure to organize the capital that is available to produce specific results, and the performance structure that shows specific performance solutions deployed with rules and exceptions to produce specific results.

The capital structure organizes capital available as performance solutions

A key component of the business structure is the capital structure that organizes enterprise capital as specific performance solutions that are available to produce specific results. Capital is categorized to be managed properly by the specific human capabilities needed. Capital is classified by the way it must be integrated and utilized to produce results effectively. Organized capital is defined as modules for easy deployment to a new result and replication to define capital needed for a similar result set.

Performance Management manages the deployment of qualified solutions to produce results

R-pM replaces administration, undefined capital, and intangible assets with Capital Management get the most out of all capital and know and manage the return on all capital investments. Performance Management manages the deployment of capital from the capital structure to the performance structure to provide qualified solutions needed to produce specific results effectively, to know all costs against result value, to manage the capacity producing a volume of results, and to manage the effectiveness needed for high-quality results.

A well-managed enterprise must manage the cost, capacity, and effectiveness of all capital in order to produce value-quality results. The enterprise can use R-pM to reduce costs significantly, know and improve capital worth, and ensure beneficial capital development investments [more...]

Enterprises today are organized and managed using many structures

Throughout the 20^th century, we have implemented organization, process, account, performance management, and other structures. These many structures, and the different entities used, produce business and information complexity and many other problems. There has long been recognition of the problems. Many books have been written and additional management structures have been devised, but the problems remain.

Enterprises and management developers have been looking for one integrating structure

There are many efforts to replace these structures with one simple and consistently-defined structure for business collaboration, reliable management information, use of common solutions, and other needs. Until now, no one has defined the one integrated structure that can be used to organize and manage any enterprise in any industry. Each new structure is laid over existing structures compounding the problems.

The one integrating structure exists; it is the business itself

There is one structure. It has been there all along! That structure is the business itself!

The enterprise business is defined as “the utilization of capital of worth in performance to incur costs and produce value in results”. The business consists of three components:

• Business results produced as economic outputs of value from the business
• Capital in the specific performance solutions invested in the business
• Performance in the utilization of performance solutions to produce results

These components of the business are organized into the current and strategic business structures that replace all structures laid over the business for transparent management of strategic result value creation.

R-pM provides the only method to organize and manage the actual business

Today's unsolvable business problems are caused by conflicts between the actual business and structures laid over the business. Result-performance Management (R-pM) organizes the business, as current and strategic structures, for 21^st century management. R-pM replaces all overlaid structures with the appropriate business structure and leaves unsolvable 20^th century problems behind [more...]

20^th century management used today is a dead-end that will never improve

21^st Century Management Magazine has published many articles on the unsolvable problems with 20^th century management. These problems have never been solved in spite of thousands of 20^th century management books written and solutions proposed. The problems will never be solved by continuing 20^th century management used by all enterprises today into the 21^st century.

20^th century management must be replaced by 21^st Century Management

20^th century management structures laid over the business and unsolvable problems caused by conflicts between the business and overlaid structures must be abolished. The only way to abolish structures laid over the business is to organize the actual business “the utilization of capital of worth in performance to incur costs and produce value in results” for 21^st Century Management.

R-pM is the only solution for 21^st Century Management

Result-performance Management is the only way to organize the business for 21^st Century Management. Once the business is organized all overlaid structures are removed and the business is managed directly to move from the current to strategic business. R-pM provides the breakthrough benefits of 21^st Century Management that are impossible today [more...]

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

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.
