Manage your company the same as your personal business
Our personal business is the way that we organize and manage our daily life
Each of us has our own personal business that must be organized and managed just to get things done in our daily life.
We organize our personal business naturally
We have things to accomplish, whether it is a prepared breakfast, arrived at work, entries in a “to do” list, items purchased, or going out for a good time. Each thing we accomplish is a result. We do not consciously think of them as results, we just accomplish them naturally. The results we produce are distinct outputs or accomplishments that can be described and counted.
In order to produce results, we naturally utilize our capability, knowledge, reusable equipment, a process, consumable supplies, tactics, etc. The things we use in performance are our personal capital, such as our residence, our belongings, our car, our money, and our own time. We use capital as the appropriate performance solution to produce the result, such as a capability we have, a tool or equipment, a recipe, specific supply items, etc. We organize these performance solutions in our residence so that we know where solutions are, when we need to produce a result. We all organize our business results and performance solutions in the same way, because it is the natural way to organize.
We manage our personal business using common sense
We manage our personal business to produce high value-quality results. When we use our performance solutions, we incur costs. When we produce a result, we create value, whether it be something completed, a purchased item, or personal pleasure. The value of the result must exceed the total cost of performance, in order for us to be happy with the result. The quality of our life is in the results that we produce.The effectiveness of our personal performance, and the solutions we utilize, determines the quality of the result. If we burn the toast, we reduce the quality of our breakfast. Certain solutions have a capacity, such as a two-cup coffee-maker, that limits the volume of the results produced.
Each of us manages our personal business by managing the performance solutions we utilize to produce results. We do not think of this as business management and we all manage our personal business the same way, because we are using common sense.
We use Result-performance Management to organize our personal business naturally, and to manage our personal business using common sense.
We need to organize and manage our company business, the same as our personal business
We do not contrive arbitrary organization and management structures to lay over our personal business, and then operate and manage our personal business by following rules and procedures. But, this is what our company does. Once the company lays an organization structure over the business, the business can never be managed. The company lays additional process, system, account, administration, and management structures over the business. Each structure is arbitrarily contrived, so that people must learn how to use the structure instead of working naturally. Results are defined as performance, making results accomplished and performance actions executed difficult to distinguish. So, the results produced by the business and the performance solutions utilized by the business are not identified or organized as sets. The company does not understand the actual business. Management does not have direct information on the actual business, to manage through common sense, so management and governance is through rules and regulations that must be learned.
But when we are assigned a business result to produce, we revert to the natural method of organizing the performance solutions we need to produce the result. The business could be simple and natural by defining the business by the business results that must be produced and the performance solutions utilized by the business. Then management would have actual business data on result volumes, value, and quality and performance solution capacity, costs, and effectiveness, and would be able to manage and govern the business using plain common sense.
