One Structure for Organization, Operations, Development, and Management: the Business
Separate organization and management structures have always been laid over the business causing complexity
Since the beginning, enterprises have implemented organization, process, account, performance, project, IT architectures, administrative functions, and other structures. Each of these many structures must be maintained and managed producing business complexity. Many conflicting entities that define each structure produce information complexity, prevent consistent and accurate management information, and require high-cost information technology overheads.
Experts have wanted to find one structure to organize and manage the enterprise as one consistent whole
Over the years, there have been many efforts to create one simple and consistently-defined structure for reliable communications, accurate management information, use of common solutions, business collaboration, and other needs. The answer, so far, is to lay higher level management structures over existing structures and the business to consolidate information and reconcile data from other structures. However, until now, no one has defined the one integrated structure that can replace all existing structures and be used to organize and manage any enterprise in any industry.
The one integrated structure has existed all along; it is the business
There is one structure. It has been there all along! That structure is the business itself!
Since the beginning, no one has actually analyzed the business to describe the entities that make up the business. Instead, we have described the enterprise as organizations, maps, accounts, processes, scorecards, activities, objects, programs, and other contrived structures that are laid over and hide the actual business.
The business consists of only two entities; results and performance solutions
The enterprise business, commonly defined as “the activity of providing goods and services“, consists of only two entities:
- Results: Economic outputs of value produced by the business, such as goods and services
- Performance Solutions: Specific human and other capital items utilized in business activity to produce specific results
The one integrated business structure, showing the specific performance solutions utilized and the specific results produced similar to a spreadsheet, replaces all structures laid over the business. The business structure can be processed with any modern general ledger system and reported with any modern management reporting system. The one business structure integrates management organization, planning, directing, control, and reporting and is the basis for 21st Century Management.
