Meta Management Information

Since production ceased to be the primary source of an enterprise's value, it has been replaced by an organisation capable of delivering value through knowledge, structural and social capital, that is, intangible assets. Most enterprises however continue to base their management on outdated industrial methods. Methods which still depend on job descriptions and structured performance appraisals, and other than for commoditised goods and services, suit neither consumers nor shifting workforce attitudes. It is no wonder that enterprises place 'talent retention' at the top of their business priority list. The problem with outdated management is not just that employees will leave, it is also the key factor behind employee disengagement and the steady increase in psychosocial hazards such as workplace stress and bullying. Industrial management methods which used to be favoured for their ability to drive efficiency have now become extremely costly. Productivity gains that were the expected pay-off from this management approach are no longer available as value is increasingly derived from the enterprise's intangible assets. Meta Management specialises in developing organisations that position people to maximise the generation of intangible assets and that achieve the enterprise's desired business outcomes.

SME operators are especially vulnerable to the waste created by outdated management but are also the greatest potential beneficiaries of intangible assets which drive innovation, customer loyalty and brand value.
