Governments around the world are promising programs to prevent future business management problems

After every economic, financial, or corporate governance crisis, governments promise action to prevent problems from happening again. The actions invariably impose more regulations on enterprises, which increase business costs and complexity, and do not address or solve the actual problems.

There is only one problem to solve, the problem of obsolete 20^th century enterprise management

The fundamental problem underlying every economic, financial, and corporate governance crisis is the failure to understand and manage the business properly on the part of managers, accountants and auditors, and government regulators. The problems are inherent in 20^th century management structures laid over businesses worldwide that prevent actual business management.

There is only one solution, organize the actual business with R-pM and apply 21^st Century Management Standards

The solution to the problem is available today with Result-performance Management (R-pM) to assist businesses, professional bodies, educational institutions, business service and solution providers, and government programs to institute and support proper business management. R-pM replaces 20^th century management structures laid over the business, with one business structure for 21^st Century Management.

A government “Business Management Program” will prevent future problems and provide significant economic benefits

The financial crisis proves that serious enterprise management problems exist. Now is the time to open our minds to new actual business management and to avoid repeating past mistakes. Most governments likely will continue the past cosmetic approach to pass new regulations and announce that they have solved the problem. A forward-looking government must take the lead to institute a “Business Management Program” as discussed in the referenced article. Once one government establishes its country as the leader and begins the program, other countries will be forced to follow. But, the lead country will always have the advantages developed by the leader.

A proposed government Business Management Program is outlined in an article in 21^st Century Management Magazine

The essential components of a Business Management Program are described in the article “Government Business Management Program to prevent future Crises and boost Competitiveness” in 21^st Century Management Magazine at R-pM.net. .

Many capital development, business change, and management improvement projects involve management consultants. Each management consulting firm has their own approaches and methodologies that are not familiar to the enterprise client. Misunderstandings often arise over the scope of the project and the responsibilities of the consultant and the enterprise.

Result-performance Management (R-pM) organizes and manages the enterprise business and also organizes and manages all capital development projects as a business. R-pM provides a new 21^st Century Management Consulting Model to enable consultants to participate in an enterprise-led partnership to provide capital solutions to a project to develop specific enterprise capital solution investments that are implemented and utilized in cost-effective performance to produce planned and measured value-quality in enterprise business results

Management Consulting today faces many unsolvable problems that prevent scoped and measured business change

20^th century management improvement consulting projects have many fundamental and unsolvable problems, such as:

• The enterprise business is not organized, so there is no framework to scope and plan change projects and services
• The business results to improve are not known or managed for added-value
• The capital solutions to acquire, develop, and utilize are not known and managed
• Performance in the utilization of capital solutions to produce results is not defined or managed
• The specific changes needed for success can not be identified and managed
• Consultant services do not change the business, but change structures laid over the business
• The enterprise must learn new organization, plan, process, system, or performance structures with added terminology and definitions
• Changed structures are implemented to adds costs, but not to create value
• The value-added by consulting services is not measured to know success
• The enterprise lacks the capability to manage the investment in development and change
  
• The enterprise does not lead and participate properly to best take over changes
  
• Human and other capital is not managed for utilization allowing change problems
  

These are some common problems with organization and management structures and management consulting approaches utilized today for capital development, business change, and management improvements. Today, the enterprise client and consultant must work in good faith in an unmanaged business environment to produce ad-hoc changes that may or may not improve business results.

Enterprise clients and management consultants need a framework to work together in partnership

Business organization and management consulting services tend to be led by the consultant and the client enterprise must await a deliverable and then decide whether the deliverable is acceptable. [more...]

20^th century business management consulting is obsolete

20^th century management consultants unknowingly propagate obsolete 20^th management practices. The objective is to organize and manage the business enterprise, rather than the enterprise business. Consultants lay high-cost organization, process, information system, and administration structures over the client business, preventing actual business organization and management.

There is no framework for the 20^th century enterprise management. Any kind of solution can be contrived and laid over the client business. All solutions are by definition bad solutions, because they aggravate and do not solve unsolvable 20^th century problems.

There is no model for 20^th century management consulting and “business” consulting services. 20^th century management consultants can employ any business practice both good and bad. 20^th century management consulting creates problems for the client and makes it more difficult for the client to compete against 21^st Century Management.

Base your practice on fundamentally-correct 21^st Century Management

There is only one method to organize the enterprise business for 21^st Century Management, Result-performance Management (R-pM). [more...].

Many capital development, business change, and management improvement projects involve management consultants. Each management consulting firm has their own approaches and methodologies that are not familiar to the enterprise client. 20^th century management consulting services tend to be led by the consultant, with limited client participation, and the client enterprise must await a deliverable. Misunderstandings often arise over the scope of the project and the responsibilities of the consultant and the enterprise.

Clients and management consultants need a framework to work together in partnership

An article on 24 May 2006, How Management Consultants and their clients can work in partnership, discussed the need for a framework for the consultant and the enterprise to work together. The article said that the enterprise and consultant need a way to define the development and improvements that will provide clear and measurable benefits to the enterprise, through a 21^st Century Management consulting model that:

• Is based on organizing and managing the actual enterprise business
• Provides services to help the enterprise organize, manage, improve and develop the actual business for measured value-added benefit
• Provides a method for clients to lead and participate properly in business improvement
• Provides a clear framework to understand scope and means of participation for both parties
• Provides the organization and approach that eliminates the fundamental problems in 20^th century business change and management consulting methods
• Provides methods and tools that both the client and consultant understand and use
• Provides a means to plan and measure the value the consultant provides and the value-added success the client achieves.
  

We cannot meet these needs with 20^th century structures and management consulting approaches, since the structures hide the business, and we have no framework to scope change and measure the value produced from the specific scope of change.

We get questions concerning the background and development of R-pM

People ask how Result-performance Management (R-pM) originated. Some people are concerned about the authenticity and viability of R-pM.

Result-performance Management was developed by Mr. Harry Greene, as personal tools used in business organization and management in process and information systems design and implementation projects, during 40 years, as a management consultant with such firms as Booz Allen and Hamilton, Multinational Management, Price Waterhouse, A.T. Kearney, and Arthur D. Little.

R-pM tools were developed to aid systems development and business change

R-pM first evolved as an aid to business process and information systems design. Later R-pM was expanded to manage business change projects, both the project and the changes to the business as the results of the project. During this experience, it became clear to Mr. Greene that the only solution to business organization and management problems was to organize and manage the business. [more...]9.

Over the past 20 years, much business change management consulting has been packaged into business services provided by hired staff, rather than professional problem solving for measured improvement. Recent books and media publicity show cases where the enterprise did not receive the professional services expected from management consultants.

A new 21^st Century Management Consulting Model to deliver professional services for client success

A management consulting model is needed to eliminate problems and deliver client enterprise success by providing:

• Services based on organizing the business for 21^st century management
• A method for the enterprise to lead and participate properly in business change
• Methods and tools that both the enterprise and consultant understand and use
• A clear framework to manage the scope and participation for both parties
• Planned and measured value of the consultant and success of the enterprise

The model must build enterprise capabilities to manage the business and business change, and focus consultants on high-value professional results the client enterprise cannot achieve on its own.

Most enterprises have employed consultants for business process re-engineering, enterprise resource planning and management information system implementation, management improvement, and other business change management consulting. And many of us have had problems executing the projects successfully and gaining quantified benefits.

Problems gaining benefit from Management Consultants

What are the basic problems that hamper the enterprise?

• The enterprise does not take full management charge and turns many of its responsibilities over to consultants. Many have not established internal responsibility for change over time
• The enterprise is not organized or managed for change. The enterprise does not have an organized business structure and has not identified, and does not have someone responsible for, each result and performance solution that must change and improve
• Change and management improvement projects are not planned, organized, or managed to produce benefits. They are organized to incur costs.
• Many management consulting services are not professional. Professional services provide experience, analysis, and judgment. Junior consultants following a methodology to produce a deliverable is a work-for-hire service

These problems are accepted as the way that things have always been done. [more...]
