R-pM. The only Way to Organize and Manage your Business

R-pM organizes business results, capital as solutions, and performance in one structure for 21st Century Management.

Result-performance Management and R-pM are Result-performance Management Limited trademarks for one set of concepts, procedures, standards, and conventions to organize a business for 21st Century Management.

The current financial crisis is caused by failure to organize and manage the enterprise business. The business organization is not a management prerogative or political football. The business organization is professionally managed capital to organize results and the capital utilized to produce results and maintain the organized business. Business management focuses on utilizing cost-effective capital in performance to produce value-quality results and managing result value-added across the business to produce the profit result.

R-pM simplifies management to the actual business to prevent crises

The definition of business is “investments in capital as solutions of worth utilized for costs and effectiveness of performance to produce value and quality in results”. The business consists of capital investments in the business organized as solutions of worth, results that must be produced across the business to create value for business success, and performance of specific solutions that are implemented to a performance domain and utilized to produce specific results.

Business performance is managed by measuring specific capital solutions utilized at a level of capacity and effectiveness to incur costs and measuring the volume, quality, and value of results produced. The business is planned by planning near-term and strategic results and the additional capital to be acquired or developed to produce the results. The business is directed by managing the chain of results produced across the business and the capital solutions utilized to produce each result. The business is controlled by controlling the capacity, cost, effectiveness, and uncertainty of performance against expectations and the volume, value, quality, and risk of results to know value-added, defects, and problems against goals and new strategic estimates. The business is reported by reporting results and performance and analyzing against internal and external business needs.

This is Result-performance Management to organize and manage the actual business. All structures, systems, tools, reports, and other devices laid over the business to manage the 20th century enterprise are abolished.

R-pM organizes the business as one business structure

The business organization consists of the three components of the actual business that are structured to have investments made in capital available as solutions to be utilized in performance to produce results.

  • Results: Specific economic outputs of value and quality that must be produced for business success
  • Capital: Investments in specific solutions of worth that are required to produce results
  • Performance: Specific solutions deployed with cost and effectiveness exceptions to produce specific results

Results are the inputs to and the outputs from performance. Results are specific accomplishments, like product item produced, learning course completed, solution implemented, etc that can be counted and measured. Capital covers all investments, acquisitions, and developments that provide the capability to produce results. Capital items are organized as specific solutions that can be professionally supported and utilized to produce results. Capital solutions like human salesmanship capability, order entry process, customer data file, and salesman equipment are utilized to produce the customer order recorded result. Performance utilizes specific solutions to incur costs and to create value in specific results. The business is organized when specific solutions are deployed to produce specific results and performance records are established to record costs, volumes, etc against expectations. Business transactions record the costs, effectiveness, capacity of solutions to produce value, quality, and volume of results. The business structure is updated with every business transaction and result and solution change.

R-pM simplifies and strengthens the corporate business organization

R-pM relates results that must be produced before other results, results that add cost and value to other results, set-results that incur costs allocated to end-results, results that must be managed together, results that comprise a value-quality chain, etc. Results are organized in the corporate result structure. R-pM identifies the results produced by existing business processes and information systems to manage result by result.

Capital is sub-defined into specific solution types, like business process, human capability, facility supply, and management tactics. Capital is sub-defined further as specific solutions to be utilized to produce specific business results. Capital is organized as specific solutions in the corporate capital structure. Performance solutions, utilized together to produce a chain of results, are defined as a performance module.

The corporation is organized by combining the result, capital, and performance structure into one integrated business structure. The organization unit is a business organization solution with a set of solutions that can be deployed to produce the result. The responsible manager is a human personnel solution deployed to be responsible for the result. A sub-set of the business structure can be inverted to show results under the responsibility of an organization unit or manager. One specific solution, such as a human salesmanship capability, utilized to produce one specific result, such as customer order recorded, is a performance domain, the basic building block of the business of all corporations. R-pM provides the framework and flexibility for enterprise management to decide on the level of detail to record and manage.

R-pM manages capital development for itemized result value return

20th century capital development ignores result development. 21st century result-performance development develops specific capital solutions to add value to specific results. The enterprise needs to add or create planned value in specific results, so invests in capital to be developed as specific solutions. Result-performance development projects have a business structure to utilize assigned capital to develop new solutions as project results. Project results capture development costs and are implemented as documented solutions. Development costs provide an assumed capital worth and unamortized balance to be amortized against results produced over the solution payback period, until fully amortized. New solutions are utilized to incur costs and create value in the results produced over the payback period. The result value-added provides the return on each solution investment.

R-pM manages results, performance, and management time periods

R-pM manages the business, and every result produced through three dimensions

  • Result: Manage economic output to produce revenues and other strategic results
  • Performance: Manage capital utilized to provide solutions, control costs, and produce profit margins
  • Management: Manage by time periods to develop and create value in the strategic business structure

Do the Right Things Right: R-pM manages in the vertical result, horizontal performance, and on-going time management dimensions. R-pM stresses doing the right things through intelligent results, doing things right through well-designed capital solutions, and doing the right things right by managing both results and performance in operation and development over defined periods to the strategic horizon.

R-pM manages the current business structure to reach result goals and meet performance expectations by time period to develop the new solutions and create the result value established in the strategic business structure.

R-pM uses six data sets for integrated business management

R-pM is designed to utilize modern information technology to organize the business for 21st Century Management. R-pM simplifies business data capture and reporting to that needed to manage the business. R-pM uses only six precisely-defined sets and subsidiary entities for integrated business management in one consistent Business Information Base:

  1. Results: Outputs of value organized into result structures and value-quality chains
  2. Capital: Specific qualified solutions deployed to produce specific results to manage positive or negative capital worth and investment capital worth from development project results
  3. Performance: Performance records and transactions recording the cost, effectiveness, capacity of specific capital solutions producing the value, quality, and volume of specific results
  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, solutions, and enterprises to relate entities by product group, industry, market, region, segment, etc
  6. Time Periods: Specific historic and planned future periods with result goals and performance expectations to create strategic value or develop new capital solutions and results

Subsidiary files detail results, like products and orders, solutions, like assets and employees, and enterprises like suppliers and customers. Descriptor entities such as country, service line, account, unit, etc. are attributes to describe result sets or solution modules. Reporting only business entities enables consistent and accurate business information and business comparison and collaboration.

Business results, solutions, performance, enterprises, descriptors, and time periods can be managed by financial and statistical accounting or data base management systems to deliver timely information solutions. Business results and solutions form the basis for business record-keeping. Management information is simplified and focused to eliminate information complexity. Timely integrated information solutions are delivered to produce specific business and management results. 20th century accounting is retained until modernized by professional and regulatory bodies.

R-pM manages business data such as value, costs, worth, and returns

Structures laid over the business today define the enterprise in many different ways with many terms and definitions. These structures are updated and maintained to collect a wide range of data to describe the enterprise, business very little data to describe the enterprise business. The proliferation of data, not related to the actual business just contributes to information complexity and confuses enterprise management. R-pM eliminated data collection against overlaid structures and captures actual business data to enable successful and efficient business operations and management. Once the business is organized, R-pM manages the business structure to integrate planning, reporting, operations, development, optimizing, and governance. R-pM updates six basic data entities and facility records, for business data like:

  • Result value: Specific result values from what the enterprise pays for input results, what internal customers agree, to what the external customer pays for final results
  • Performance costs: Amortization and operation costs for the deterioration in worth, consumption, or utilization of solutions to produce results
  • Result value-added: Result value produced less total performance costs for solutions utilized
  • Result quality: The actual against planned or determined quality for which the customer pays a value
  • Performance effectiveness: The effectiveness and problems against effectiveness expectations
  • Capital investment: The amount invested in the acquisition, development, and implementation of specific solutions, the amount amortized to date, and the remaining balance to amortize
  • Capital worth: Solution investment worth in the future value-added to results, plus the disposal worth less the cost of capital; the positive or negative worth added to supply solutions, or worth assessed for the expected result value-added over a period for human personnel solutions
  • Solution investment return: The attributable added result value-added to date in the utilization of the solution to produce results

R-pM manages performance capacity used for result volume, performance costs against result value, performance effectiveness for result quality, and performance expectations to reach result goals.

Structures, like account charts, cannot record this data, since they fail to define tangible and intangible capital as specific solutions of worth, the set of results of value, and performance records and transactions to capture costs and value in solutions utilized to produce a result.

R-pM organizes and manages Information Technology as capital

R-pM simplifies today's information technology to be managed through integrated business capital management.

The transition to R-pM is gradual to avoid change problems
