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.

"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.

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...]

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. All consulting services employ the R-pM Management Consulting Model and 21st Century Management conventions and standards.

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...]

20^th century management consultants implement unsolvable problems

Consultants today do not help clients solve the unsolvable 20^th century management problems. Typical consulting services lay structures over the business and introduce new unsolvable problems in the need for reorganization, business and information complexity, unknown costs and value, unknown capital worth and returns, overlaid solution and business conflicts, and on and on.

R-pM provides the 21^st Century Management consulting model to organize and manage the business to avoid unsolvable problems

Unsolvable problems occur due to clashes between overlaid structures and the actual business. The problems disappear when the actual business is organized with R-pM to manage one business structure to integrate planning, directing, control, and reporting.

The 21^st Century Management consulting model guides the enterprise and consultants to work together to achieve new business value in result value-quality chains, result-performance costing, strategic value management, result-performance optimization, project result management, human capability management, and other new concepts not possible with 20^th century management.

Opportunities are emerging for R-pM consultants to support 21^st Century Management

21^st century management will ultimately replace obsolete 20^th century management, creating a demand for R-pM management consultants. R-pM consulting sales and delivery are supported by R-pM websites, The R-M Toolkit, and other R-pM promotions. Professional management consultants and firms, who want to provide professional services that provide planned and measured enterprise benefit, will gain significantly by being among the first registered R-pM management consultants [more...]

20^th century management consulting is based on obsolete organization and management structures laid over the client business. The consulting effort is directed at improving performance rather than improving the business and creating value. Many projects implement additional business process and information system structures over the business, which propagates unsolvable client problems.

21^st Century Management Consulting is based on Result-performance Management (R-pM) to professionally organize and manage the actual enterprise customer business. R-pM Consultants employ the R-pM Management Consulting Model to work in partnership with the enterprise and help the enterprise achieve planned and measured result value-added success. New business processes or information systems are implemented as complete solution modules to produce specific results along the result value-quality chain.

R-pM is coming in 2008 to provide the future of business organization and management. R-pM consulting is the future of professional management consulting. [more...]

20^th century management lays a monolithic business process over the business. Results are mixed with performance and defined as "performance" preventing actual business management. The objective is to manage "performance quality", but costs, value, effectiveness, and quality are hidden in the process.

Rule No. 2 of 21^st Century Management is to "Generate profits from a chain of managed value and quality". Result-performance Management (R-pM) replaces business processes with result value-quality chains to organize and manage the actual business to manage performance capacity to produce a result volume, performance effectiveness producing result quality, and performance costs creating result value. Result value-added is the result value less the total result cost. The actual business is managed to generate profits from a chain of managed result value-added. Contrived overlaid business processes are abolished. [more...]

20^th century enterprises do not manage the business, so capital development cannot be managed as part of the business. Capital development develops new capital as performance solutions to create value in new or improved results. 20^th century enterprises do not manage their capital and do not manage their results. So, capital development is managed as an isolated undertaking. This makes it difficult to manage the relationship between the project and the business, gain business user acceptance of new solutions implemented, and plan and measure return on the capital development investment.

Result-performance Management (R-pM) is a new project management breakthrough. R-pM organizes the operational results produced and performance solutions utilized as one Enterprise Business Structure. This provides the framework to describe and plan the new result value to be created, and to describe and plan the new capital in performance solutions needed to create new result value.

The new enterprise results and performance solutions to be developed are set up as Project Results in the Project Business Structure. Internal and external capital assigned to the project is managed as specific Project Performance Solutions to produce specific Project Results. The new enterprise results and performance solutions are developed, documented, and implemented as specific project results.

The project is closed out as project results are put into operation as new enterprise results and enterprise performance solutions in the developed Enterprise Business Structure. The new solutions are utilized to produce new result value over the payback period to provide the return on the capital investment [more...]

Business transformation got a bad name when it was misapplied to business process re-engineering and implementation of enterprise resource planning.

True "Business Transformation" moves an enterprise, organized and managed through structures laid over the business, to an enterprise that directly organizes and manages the business and never needs further transformation.

Result-performance Management (R-pM) provides the methods and guidance for true transformation to an organized and managed business. [more...]
