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.

"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.

It is impossible to manage capital development properly today with 20^th century management

20^th century management used today does not provide a framework for proper capital development. Capital development develops capital as specific tangible and intangible performance solutions that must be utilized by the business. Capital development incurs the costs of development. But capital is not defined and managed as a set of performance solutions available to the business. Developed capital is utilized in business performance to produce output results of value. Result development provides the benefits of development and the value-added that provides the return on investment. But results are not defined and managed as a set to be produced by the business. Therefore, 20^th century management manages capital development to develop certain known capital as an exercise separate from the business.

Result-performance Management (R-pM) organizes the business to enable result-performance development

Result-performance Management organizes the business in results that must be produced for business success, capital that must be invested in the business to produce results, and performance in the utilization of specific capital as performance solutions to produce specific results. Once the business is managed, it is straight forward to identify new results required to improve and expand the business. Once the business is managed, it is also straight forward to identify the tangible and intangible capital needed to produce the results. New result development and new performance solution development is planned and managed as part of the business [more...]

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...]

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...]

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...]

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...]

Management Consultants today provide counter-productive management services

20^th century enterprise management consulting helps the client manage the enterprise through overlaid structures, rather than directly managing the enterprise business. With the advent of R-pM, 20^th century management consulting is obsolete. Yet, management consultants today continue to inflict high-costs and unsolvable problems on client enterprises through re-organizations, enterprise strategy, business process, information system, performance management, administration, and other 20^th century management services.

Result-performance Management Consultants help customers manage the actual business

More consultants are licensing as Result-performance Management Consultants, to provide professional 21^st Century Management Consulting Services. R-pM Consultants assist enterprise customers to organize the business for 21^st Century Management and eliminate unsolvable 20^th century problems. All R-pM management consulting services are based on achieving planned and measured result value-added benefits.

Prepare for the future demand for 21^st Century Management Consulting

The management consultants, who build capabilities and experience with R-pM, will be well placed when competition forces all enterprises to organize the business for 21^st Century Management [more...]

Conventions, definitions, and standards used in 20^th century management are inconsistent and confusing

20^th century management does not organize the natural business or apply common-sense management, as we do in our personal business. Arbitrary contrived structures are laid over the business. Each structure has its own set of conventions, definitions, and standards. Added together this produces an inconsistent hodge-podge of conventions, definitions, and standards that are applied separately for organization, planning, processes and systems, accounting, administration, IT architectures, performance management, reporting, and other parts of enterprise management.

Rule No 10 of 21^st Century Management: Employ 21^st Century Management conventions and standards

The 21^st century business must avoid the problems inherent in 20^th century management. This is done by organizing the business with R-pM for 21^st Century Management. 21^st Century Management uses one set of conventions, definitions, and standards that are applied to the actual business and used for all management organization, planning, directing, control, and reporting. Common conventions, definitions, and standards enable business collaboration and education, solutions, and services that can be applied to any business.

R-pM provides one consistent set of conventions, definitions, and standards for 21^st Century Management

21^st Century Management conventions, definitions, and standards are defined, updated, and maintained in the R-pM Toolkit to support the application and use of R-pM. The conventions, definitions, and standards can be followed by any education institution, solution developer, or service provider to meet the needs of any 21^st century enterprise [more...]
