Enterprises go back to the drawing board to improve, but do not know what to draw
Many enterprises have persistent performance problems. Maybe its gaining real benefit from new solutions, reorganizing to another unresponsive organization, or precisely managing what people are doing. Enterprises are not able to plan and manage their capital investments to determine or manage the return. They are unable to utilize tangible and intangible capital effectively in performance to produce results. They are not able to determine all costs incurred in enterprise performance against the value created by performance. They cannot manage value chains or value added along a chain. They can not determine the worth of their human or other capital investments or the worth of their business. Enterprises are sold one solution after another, but the fundamental problems remain unsolved.
Corporations face fundamental management and business change problems
Many enterprises want to go back to the drawing board to solve business change and management problems. Their problems are fundamental to the way they do business, and need new fundamental solutions. They have read many books and tried many highly-touted solutions. But, new books propagate old management thinking, and new solutions improve the old solutions that are the cause of the problem. So, now, when enterprises go back to the drawing board to improve organization and management, they do not know what to draw?
The Business Change Forum documents unsolvable problems that can never be solved by improved 20th century management
The hundreds of articles in the Business Change Forum have documented unsolvable problems created by laying organization and management structures over the business. 20th century management problems are unsolvable because they can never be solved by obsolete 20th century management solutions that lay more and more structures over the business.
There are many bad options for organization, operation, capital development, and strategic management
Enterprises that want to improve their organization, operations, development, and management have an enormous selection of bad options. Management books address the symptoms and new solutions compound old problems. Why do we have so many options and why are new methods and devices springing up all the time to confuse us? It is because we have never found the one fundamentally sound way to organize and manage our enterprises that provides the foundation for continuing future improvement.
