Management consultants fail to address the unsolvable problems faced by all enterprises today

Most of the financial institutions, corporations, and other enterprises that have management problems 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 causes unsolvable management problems, the failure to manage the business.

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

Much 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 enterprise management to lay new or improved organization, account, system, and other management structures over the business.

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

A 21^st century business management consulting model is now available to help enterprises organize and menage the business 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 builds enterprise capabilities to manage the business and business change, and focuses consultants on high-value professional results the client enterprise cannot achieve on its own.

The business management consulting model organizes services within an enterprise, market, industry, or economy business structure

The 21^st century business management consulting model scopes all services within a business structure, and extends the structure to cover the complete enterprise, enterprise businesses within a corporation business, and businesses within markets, industries, and economies. All services provide a measurable result value-added return to the client enterprise and service users. [more...]

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

20^th century enterprise 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 business management: Manage all capital investments to gain a planned return

The investment management problem is solved by rule no 7 of 21^st century business management. All capital investments must manage the results to be produced by the investment as well as the capital needed as specific capital solutions. The increase in value in new and improved results and the development cost of specific capital solutions must be planned to justify the investment. Development project results are managed to implement solutions to create value and added result value is measured in operations know the return on investment.

Plan and develop both the results and capital solutions needed in results-driven capital development.

21^st century business management replaces capital development with results-driven capital development to actually plan and manage capital investments and development for a measured return on investment. The return on investment is provided by the value created in results produced to date attributed to each capital solution utilized. [more...]

The 21^st Century Business Management Consulting Model organizes and manages the business to avoid unsolvable problems

Enterprises today do not manage their business. They manage the enterprise by laying organization, corporate plan, business process, account, and other structures over the business. Unsolvable problems occur due to clashes between overlaid structures and the actual business. The problems disappear when the actual business is organized to manage one business structure to integrate planning, directing, control, and reporting.

The 21^st Century Business Management Consulting Model guides the enterprise and consultants to organize the actual business and 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 enterprise management.

Opportunities are emerging for management consultants to support 21^st century business management

21^st century business management will ultimately replace obsolete 20^th century enterprise management, creating a demand for business management consultants.

Business management and business management consulting sales and delivery are supported by R-pM websites, The R-M Business Management Toolkit, and other business management documentation. Professional management consultants and firms, who want to provide professional services that provide planned and measured enterprise benefit, will gain significantly by registering and practicing as 21^st century business management consultants.

Management Consultants today provide counter-productive enterprise management services

20^th century enterprise management consulting helps the client manage the enterprise through structures laid over the business, rather than directly managing the enterprise business. With the advent of 21^st century business management, 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 enterprise management structures and services.

21^st century business management consultants help customers manage the actual business

Management consultants today are enterprise consultants not business consultants

Management consultants today utilize conventional 20^th century management practices to manage the enterprise through contrived organization and management structures laid over the business. Many consultants claim to be business management consultants, but in fact have no concept of what the business is and how to manage the business.

Management consultants must learn to organize and manage the business to become 21^st century business management consultants

Management consultants must learn to organize and manage the actual business by utilizing the knowledge and guidance provided by Result-performance Management (R-pM).

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

20^th century enterprise management used by all companies today contains significant competitive disadvantages. But, 20^th century enterprise 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. All companies lay organization, accounting, business process, administration, and other management structures over the business to manage the enterprise.

21^st century business management is vastly superior to 20^th century enterprise management

But what happens when one company organizes the actual business as one structure for 21^st century management, clears away all the unwieldy structures laid over the business, and eliminates unsolvable 20^th century management problems. That company jettisons excess costs, increases result quality and value-added, quickly develops and implements new capital, quickly introduce new and improved products and services, and reduce prices while increasing revenues. That company enjoys significant competitive advantage over companies still burdened with unsolvable 20^th century management problems.

The future competitive playing field will no longer be level. Where will your company be? Among the leaders managing the business for competitive advantage or among the followers, still struggling with unsolvable 20^th century management 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.

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...]
