Action Management Solutions was
founded by Dr John
Troughton who combined the "best of the best"
management approaches into a practical, east-to-understand
management framework and developed a unique system that can be
applied to any institution; big or small; public or private; profit
or not-for-profit; in fact any business. This approach heralds a new
era of taking the mystery out of running a business and makes this
advanced system available to the mass SME (Small to Medium
Enterprise) market at a price that they can all afford.
In
developing this innovative approach, AMS have undertaken
extensive research into management. These include investigating the
management advisors, consultants and experts, popular managers,
management concepts, trend and techniques, and the practice of
management in 200 SME's in Australia. The result is a management and
improvement system that can be applied to any business in any
country.
The "management experts" that were studied included
those as diverse as Drucker, Deming, Kaplan, Norton, Omahae,
and Hammer. From these studies it was possible to analyse the common
themes, but in particular the specific ideas that they developed and
practiced that differentiated them from the others. New management
concepts and techniques continually emerge and are hailed as the
solution to management problems. Six Sigma, Value Chain Analysis,
TQM, EVA, Balanced Scorecards etc, have all been researched by TMP
(in particular Dr John
Troughton) and the role, place and value of these have
been considered.
AMS studies have clearly highlighted
the disparity between what is preached by the Management community
and what is practiced by mangers in business. These studies
highlighted the plight of the manager in practice, in that they
really do not know what "management" should be, mainly because it
has not been properly defined and a single management method was not
available that considered the "best of the best" information,
tools and concepts from the experts. Applying one technique or the concepts
from one expert was not enough to significantly impact business, and
there was never the time or the expertise in their business to try
several ways, or to change from one concept to another midstream.
Then there was the cost!! Who had intellectual access to these
experts and what SME could afford the expense of applying their
programs. An SME answer had to be devised, and this is what The
Management Practice has done. We call it "Action
Management". |
