R-pM Basics

R-pM organizes and manages your business naturally

You use R-pM every day to manage your personal business. You produce a result to get something done. You organize your capital in your time, space and tools, plans and instructions, the process to follow, and other performance solutions to produce results. You utilize your time and other solutions in performance to produce a specific result. Then you move on to produce your next result. You do not perform one continuous process, you produce a sequence of results.

Just to make breakfast, you perform by following recipe knowledge, using reusable stove and pan equipment, and consuming oil and condiment supplies, to transform input results in the ham, eggs, coffee, etc into an output result; prepared breakfast.

You use R-pM naturally and efficiently, since R-pM is the only way to organize and manage any business. Unfortunately, you cannot do the same on the job. 20^th century management prevents natural business management. Instead of thinking in terms of natural business, we think in terms of contrived overlaid structures.

Learn R-pM from the start with a clear mind and think of R-pM in terms of the way you organize your personal business. Do not think of R-pM in terms of an existing enterprise organization or existing obsolete business practices.

20^th century management organizes and manages the enterprise, not the business, creating unsolvable problems

20^th century business organization lays an enterprise organization structure over the business. This fatal error prevents the business from being managed. Separate enterprise management structures for strategy, plans, processes, accounts, information systems, performance, administration, etc. also are laid over the business. Each structure describes conflicting entities, such as unit, target group, division, station, center, responsibility, etc. The data from each structure must be processed and reported creating enormous IT overheads and information complexity.

Rigid overlaid structures restrict the actual business and conflict with business change, causing unsolvable 20^th century problems with reorganizations, complexity, alignment, costs, worth, change management, business records, collaboration, outsourcing, investments, projects, value creation, governance, and on and on. These problems can never be solved by 20^th century management.

21^st Century Management manages the business performance of capital to create value in business results

The definition of 21^st Century Management is “manage the current to strategic business in capital, organized as measured performance solutions of worth, to incur costs and create value in economic outputs, organized as counted and measured results; and manage capital investments develop performance solutions of worth to add value to specific results, for measured return”.

Result-performance Management (R-pM) organizes the business for 21^st Century Management. R-pM organizes business performance solutions to produce specific results as one integrated business structure for complete 21^st Century Management planning, directing, control, and reporting. The business consists of three components that define the business:

• Results: Measured economic outputs, such as goods and services, that must be produced by the business to create value
• Capital: Measured tangible and “intangible” capital that must be utilized as performance solutions of worth produce results
• Performance: The measured utilization of a specific solution to incur costs and create value in results

Results are defined and organized as specific outputs by the metric used to count the result, covering the complete business, such that all human and other capital are utilized to produce specific results. Capital is defined and organized as specific performance solutions to be supported in operations and development, and to be integrated with like solutions and utilized to produce a specific result. A specific performance solution deployed to produce a specific result defines a performance domain.

The integrated business structure is like a big spreadsheet with business performance solutions down the rows; and business results across the columns. The business changes with each change to a result or performance solution. A cell defines a performance domain to record business activity, where a specific solution is used to incur costs and to create value in a specific result. R-pM records and manages business data in result value, performance costs, result value-added, capital worth, and actual business transactions.

The objective of all in the business is to produce measured results. Performance solutions are categorized by the specific support capabilities required, and are classified to be integrated to produce results. Human capital solutions are deployed to manage and produce specific results, using other deployed solutions like processes, knowledge, equipment, supplies, and tactics. The business structure replaces all overlaid 20^th century structures to eliminate unsolvable problems.

R-pM is implemented with little investment or risk

R-pM is a change in thinking and in the way the existing business is organized and managed. R-pM does not require new investment or involve risk. R-pM does require a change in thinking and viewing the business from a new perspective. So, R-pM is implemented gradually at the enterprises own pace. Overlaid structures and associated information processing are removed as they are replaced by R-pM.

The objective of all in the business is to produce results as economic outputs that can be measured. Performance solutions are categorized by the specific support capabilities required, and are classified to be integrated to produce results. Human capital solutions are deployed to manage and produce specific results, using other deployed solutions like processes, knowledge, equipment, supplies, and tactics. The business structure replaces all overlaid structures to eliminate unsolvable problems.

R-pM manages six information sets for 21^st Century Management

R-pM is designed to utilize modern information technology to organize the business for 21^st Century Management. R-pM simplifies business management information to six consistently-defined sets:

1. Results: Outputs of value that produce income organized into result structures and value-quality chains
2. Performance: Specific qualified capital deployed as a solution to a performance domain to incur costs to produce a specific result
3. Capital: The set of performance solutions of positive (asset) or negative (liability) capital worth
4. Enterprises: The business enterprise with superior and subordinate units, plus suppliers,, customers, business partners, solution providers, and others that interact with the business
5. Business Descriptors: The attributes of results, capital, enterprises, and the overall business to relate information to the business for industry, product group, market, customer segment, etc
6. Time Periods: Specific historic and planned future periods with result goals and performance expectations to create strategic value or develop new performance solutions and results

Subsidiary entities are kept on certain results, such as material and products, and certain performance solutions, such as assets and employees. Result-performance transactions record business data against the information sets. Most data can be set up and captured automatically, to simplify data collection. Business descriptors such as division, responsibility, unit, region, product group, customer segment, market, etc. are attributes of results, solutions, and enterprises and are defined by those specific entities. Management information is accurate, simplified, and focused.

Information system processes are integrated with the business process as a module to produce each specific result and to generate business data.

R-pM enables comprehensive management in three dimensions

R-pM manages the enterprise, and each result produced, in three dimensions:

1. Result: Utilize solutions to produce planned and measured results to reach goals
2. Performance: Provide and support performance solutions that meet expectations
3. Management: Manage by time period to develop and create strategic result value

This is Result-performance Management. R-pM follows 21^st Century Management conventions with one business structure for organization, planning, operations, development, and reporting.
