20th century enterprise management does not provide a structure for standardized packaged solutions
Packaged capital solutions, such as application software, management learning programs, practices and procedures, and performance management methods, help the enterprise meet specific solution needs and save the extra cost of development. Developing packaged solutions has always been difficult, since there has never been a consistent structure used by all enterprises, within which to develop and apply solutions. This requires packaged solutions to be very problem, function, or industry specific. The enterprise had to adjust to some standards to use early packaged solutions. Over the years, solutions have gotten more sophisticated and industry-specific to the needs of individual enterprise customers. This has raised the cost and narrowed the application of packaged solutions. Packaged solutions force the enterprise to conform to the solution, rather than providing solutions that can flexibly fit into any enterprise business. There is no accepted framework for packaged solution development, implementation, and utilization. Therefore, it is difficult for the enterprise to integrate packaged solutions with each other and other enterprise capital to produce business results.
21st century business management provides the structure to develop and apply packaged capital solutions as part of the business
The structure to develop packaged solutions that any enterprise can use exists: the business. Business management organizes the business structure to utilize specific capital solutions to produce specific results. Packaged solutions are implemented along a performance row to produce results for specific result columns.
Packaged performance solutions are developed by capital category and class to fit within any enterprise business structure. Solutions are simplified and clearly-defined for use by the business. All solutions are organized into four capital categories and into the readiness, production, or information class within each category. This gives twelve solution types to be supported, deployed, and utilized to produce results:
- Business capital: Business organization, business process, and business data
- Human capital: Human personnel, human capability, and human knowledge
- Facility capital: Facility equipment, facility supply, and facility records
- Management capital: Management strategy, management tactics, and management intelligence
Developing and packaging solutions by capital category enables professional solution support and performance management for each category. Developing and packaging solutions by capital class within category enables the solutions to be integrated and utilized with other internally-developed or packaged solutions.
Business capital solutions provide the capability to produce specific results
Business organization solutions help to develop and manage the business structure and result units. Business process solutions include packaged application systems, business management systems, and business process solutions that must be integrated to produce results. The business process then is implemented and integrated with other production capital to produce results, result by result. Solutions specific to results enable implementation of only the needed solutions across a result chain. Business data solutions manage business data entities and the business information base to manage access and security, to integrate information by result and other business entity, to provide access to related information, and to maintain the base.
Human capital solutions provide the responsibility, capability, and leadership to produce results
Human personnel solutions keep human capital ready to produce results through recruitment, actions, compensation, rewards, outplacement, etc. Human capability development solutions are used to develop, manage, and assess a particular capability on the job to produce particular results. Human knowledge solutions include business management and other learning programs and created knowledge to develop and support human capability, learn business management, use specific capital solutions, and produce specific results.
Facility capital solutions provide the traditional tangible assets utilized to produce results
Facility equipment solutions cover infrastructure, network, financial, and equipment planning, operation, and maintenance. Facility supply solutions manage the acquisition, control, and delivery of cash and supplies to produce results. Facility records management solutions manage complete financial and non-financial records of results produced and to provide records solutions to produce business results.
Management capital solutions plan and direct results and provide management information
Management strategy solutions help plan and manage business strategy and the strategic business structure. Management tactics solutions provide management tools and assist result evaluation, capital assessment, and performance optimization to support governance. Management intelligence solutions include data analysis, competitive and customer research, opportunity and threat analysis, strategic option analysis, etc.
Packaged capital solutions can produce revenues, support business operations, and support capital development
Specific result management solutions can be developed by result groups for the three main objectives of results.
- Revenue results: To meet main enterprise business objectives to produce products and services, generate revenues, or meet other enterprise objectives. Revenue result solutions can be industry-specific to meet industry requirements and exceptions, manage industry result value-quality chains, and update the industry business structure
- Capital results: To support the capital utilized in performance and to provide qualified solutions to produce results. Capital result solutions can support capital management and improvement and performance management to provide and support specific solutions for specific results, for all capital or for a capital category
- Investment results: To manage enterprise change over time in investments, result research, capital development and implementation for new solutions, and strategic value creation. Investment result solutions manage investment analysis to plan new solutions. Capital development solutions manage projects as a business structure to develop and implement new capital solutions as project results. Strategic result-performance management solutions manage the creation of strategic result value and govern the enterprise business
Packaged business solutions can be integrated into larger solutions, can be supported by other user solutions, and can provide implementation and support solutions that also fit into the business structure.
