Management consultants fail to address the business problems that caused the financial crisis

Virtually all the financial institutions, corporations, and other enterprises that have problems due to economic recession, retain management consultants for advice and management improvements. No current management consultant has the outlook or capability to help their client eliminate the one problem that holds back all enterprises and caused the financial crisis, the failure to manage the business.

All consultants today promote dead-end 20^th century management

Much business change management consulting has been packaged into business services provided by hired staff, rather than professional problem solving for measured improvement. Recent books and media publicity show cases where the enterprise did not receive the professional services expected from management consultants. All consulting services today promote obsolete 20^st century management.

A new management consulting model is needed to restore professionalism and prevent business problems

A management consulting model is needed to eliminate problems by providing:

• Services based on organizing the business for 21^st century management
• A method for the enterprise to lead and participate properly in business change
• A clear framework to manage the scope and participation for both parties
• Methods and tools that both the enterprise and consultant understand and use
• Planned and measured value of the consultant and success of the enterprise

The model must build enterprise capabilities to manage the business and business change, and focus consultants on high-value professional results the client enterprise cannot achieve on its own.

The R-pM Management Consulting Model organizes services within an enterprise, market, industry, or economy business structure

The R-pM Management Consulting Model scopes all services within a business structure, and extends the structure to cover the complete enterprise, market, industries, and economies. All services provide a measurable result value-added return to the client enterprise. [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 With the advent of R-pM, 20^th century management consulting is obsolete.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.

20^th century management cannot manage investments, development, or returns

20^th century management develops capital as a tangible asset or project outcome. The specific capital items to be developed and the specific business improvements to be made are not defined or managed. So, it is impossible to plan and manage capital development to provide a measured return on investment.

Rule No. 7 of 21^st Century Management: Manage investments to gain a planned result value return

The investment management problem is solved by rule no 7 of 21^st Century Management. All capital investments must manage the results to be produced as well as the capital needed to produce the results. The investment results and capital to be developed in specific performance solutions must be planned to justify the investment, managed in the development project results to implement solutions to create value, and measured in operations know actual added result value-added for the return on investment.

R-pM plans and develops both the results and performance solutions needed in Result-performance Development.

R-pM replaces capital development with Result-performance Development to actually plan and manage investments and development for a measured return on investment [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...]

All companies today are burdened by the same 20^th century management problems

20^th century management contains significant competitive disadvantages. But, 20^th century management continues today, because all companies are burdened with the same costs and problems. The competitive playing field remains level, because no company organizes and manages the actual business.

21^st Century Management is vastly superior to 20^th century management

But what happens when one company uses R-pM to organize the business for 21^st Century Management, to jettison excess costs, focus on increasing result quality and value-added, quickly develop and implement new performance, quickly introduce new and improved products and services, and reduce prices while increasing revenues. That company will enjoy significant competitive advantage over companies still burdened with unsolvable 20^th century problems.

The future competitive playing field will no longer be level. Where will your company be? Among the leaders employing R-pM for competitive advantage or among the followers, still struggling with unsolvable 20^th century problems and falling further behind [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...]

The many development project management methods cannot plan and develop specific project benefits, capture development costs for specific performance solutions, nor measure development costs against actual result value-added to find the return on investment.

Rule No. 7 of the 10 rules of 21st century management is Manage Investments to gain a planned result value return. The enterprise cannot manage benefits unless the specific results to be produced by the developed capital are organized and managed. The enterprise cannot manage costs to know return on investment, unless the specific performance solutions being developed are defined and managed.

R-pM uses unique bottom-up Result-performance Development to develop both the costs and benefits of development, so that they can be tracked into operation to provide the planned and managed return on investment.

R-pM provides a business structure for capital development project results produced and performance solutions utilized for effective project management and to capture of costs of new solutions developed as project results.

Do not attempt any capital development project without studying and understanding the benefits of R-pM. [more...]
