Management consultants today have enterprises lay structures over the business
Management consultants today manage the enterprise through contrived organization and management structures laid over the business. There is no structure to plan and manage a successful management consulting project. Conventional management consulting methods build a big gulf between the enterprise and management consultants utilized for organization and management improvements. Most enterprises do not have the internal capability to manage large consulting projects. There is no way to define a project scope that is clear to the enterprise and consultants. The enterprise and enterprise staff often abuse the consulting agreement and try to get extra services.
Consultants have developed mechanisms to reduce their risk and ensure profitability. Methodologies enable inexperienced consultants to produce contract-satisfying deliverables. Enterprise personnel often are kept out of the consultant work. The consultant objective is to produce deliverables that are provided for the enterprise to accept or reject. Many consulting services are just business services to follow a methodology or institute proscribed change, rather than professional services to identify and solve real enterprise business problems.
20th century enterprise management consultants continue to implement dead-end 20th century structures over the business, and have no method to organize the enterprise business, improve business result value, and measure result value-added success.
21st century business management consultants help client enterprises organize and manage the business
21st century business management provides an opportunity for management consultants and firms to provide a completely new level of services to help client enterprises organize and manage the business for measured added value-added success. A new 21st century business management consulting model guides enterprises and consultants to work together in the proper roles to ensure successful service delivery and improved business results. Once enterprises that manage the business show the competitive advantages of business management, the demand for real business management consulting services grows quickly.
The enterprise client must retain responsibility to achieve business management success
Enterprises are responsible for the success of all improvement and development projects. Consultants can never be responsible. The enterprise does not wait for the consultant to deliver; to decide is the results are good or bad. The enterprise leads the work and participates with consultants to ensure good results. The business management consulting model is followed by consultants to develop enterprise leadership and capabilities for successful business management. The Business Management Toolkit guides both parties in the analysis of the business, developing and implementing solutions, and working in partnership for joint success.
The business structure provides the framework for successful business management consulting projects
The business is clearly defined to take the mystery out of business organization and change. The business structure provides the framework to scope specific results, capital solutions, and performance to be improved. Professional capabilities are built within the enterprise to manage investments and capital development, to manage each category of capital, and to manage change and performance to produce results.
The enterprise usually utilizes management consultants as part of normal 21st century capital development, extending the concepts outlined in the Business Management Toolkit. Result and performance managers have specific responsibilities for both operations and development. Ad-hoc projects are eliminated. One basic result-performance development organization is refined as needed for a specific project. A Result-performance Development Panel consists of those with specific result, capital, performance, program management, and partnership responsibilities, and enforces project responsibilities. Result goals and performance expectations are established for utilization and management of new solutions.
The major project is the transition to 21st century business management
The major project is the transition to business management. Here the objective is learn the business and build enterprise investment result capability, organize the enterprise business structure that is understood by all, implement and prove the enterprise business structure for all or part of the business, and then manage the business and remove overlaid 20th century structures. Business management consultants guide the enterprise and provide capabilities, knowledge, and other project solutions needed that the enterprise does not possess or otherwise need to maintain within the business. Consultants provide the particular start up skills to define and describe results and capital solutions, to institute capital management for previously unmanaged solutions, and provide new 21st century development and project management methods and guidance.
21st century business management consultants work with enterprise clients for shared success
Business management consulting assists the enterprise to define, implement, and manage specific capital solutions needed to produce specific results. All solution investments are analyzed for result value-added return. All consulting projects are managed as a business to capture all capital acquisition, development, and implementation costs. Implemented solutions are set up to amortize costs and provide the result value-added return on investment to measure the success of consulting.
Consultants provide the human capability and other solutions that are not cost-effective for the enterprise to maintain. The enterprise leads the project and gains an understanding of all capital solutions utilized in performance to produce results in order to operate and manage the business properly and to support capital solutions implemented and the performance of qualified solutions to produce value-quality results.
Business organization and management improvement projects are managed through a project business structure
The enterprise business structure provides the framework to scope and manage a project. The enterprise-consultant partnership is executed in the result, performance, and management dimensions, both for the result-performance development within the enterprise business and for the day to day work on the business improvement project. Business improvement projects are managed through a project business structure to manage new solutions developed as project results and enterprise and consultant capital assigned to the project. Both the enterprise and consultants employ the Business Management Toolkit, which provides a frame of reference and tool for understanding. Consultants participate in a partnership with the enterprise to achieve the project objective and success in measured added result value-added.
Current 20th century management problems are eliminated so that all business organization and management projects achieve success
By understanding the actual business, the enterprise and consultants can work in partnership for joint success. Typical problems with 20th century management consulting are avoided. Consultants provide true professional services for capabilities and other solutions that are not cost-effective for the enterprise to develop and maintain. Consultants and the enterprise have a structure for result planning, capital development, and performance execution. The Business Management Toolkit provides guidance for all parties involved. Consultant and enterprise result risk is reduced and all consultant services create planned result value-added. 21st century business management consultants have only one deliverable, enterprise success through measurable value-added to results.
