Products & Services – Planning & Performance Management

Proofpoint has the tools you need to develop clear and compelling strategic goals and manage the performance at every organizational level. Proofpoint's planning and performance management tools help you clarify and communication your priorities, allocate resources, and track progress and success.


Strategic Planning

Proofpoint's Strategic Planning System helps you operationalize your strategic plan.

SPS is a proven aid for demonstrating key linkages – the alignment of any strategic goal to other external guidance or directive, and to internal operational capabilities and projects). It helps allocate resources and track success at multiple levels (project, program, code, measures of success). SPS provides an effective way for key leaders to exert data driven influence when and where required.

Your SPS dashboard can be configured to support any key information requirement: Different configurations for different organizational levels. Via an administrative function, the strategic plan may be modified and updated as necessary. Because the system is web-based, updates can be communicated immediately.

If subsequent staff action is required, it can be facilitated and tracked via the system. Auto-updates and reminder can help keep team members on track.
Executive Performance Management

Leaders are continually looking for methods that drive results; flatten their organizations; reduce redundancy; link to strategy, vision, values, and goals; and promote savings, efficiency, transparency, accountability.

EPM is an easy-to-use, point-and-click system that helps:

  • Set, integrate, and reward executive goals
  • Align individual, team, and unit performance
  • Create a "line of sight" between executive performance and organizational success.

Our federal government version – designed with the support of more than 100 senior executives – provide methods to support compliance with OMB and OPM directives.
Employee Goal Development & Alignment

GOALS is the common sense system for managing employee performance.

With versions that support the private sector and government organizations, leaders and team members can:

  • Write SMART-Q goals
  • Align their goals to the strategic goals of the organization
  • Plan key milestones
  • Pinpoint the performance impact of each goal (cost, quantity, quality, and more)
  • Produce a Corporate Scorecard (aligns with Kaplan & Norton)
  • Identify other teams impacted by their goals
  • Develop risk mitigation plans
  • Track their progress and rapidly generate reports

A finalist for the 2007 American Business Awards, GOALS is dependable, easy to implement, and cost effective.

Individual Development Planning

Proofpoint's IDP system provides a foundation for employee development, coaching, and mentoring. It also helps facilitates the developmental dialogue between supervisors and employees.

Most IDPs are managed on paper or via a local database with restricted access. Reports are difficult to develop and it's an everyday challenge to see where the organization is spending its development resources. That ends with Proofpoint's IDP.

Our IDP can stand alone or link to a performance management system or to your learning management system.
Competency Management

If your organization needs an efficient way to develop career paths and position management practices that shape your workforce, Proofpoint's CMS is the answer.

P-CMS provides methods for selecting and prioritizing competencies, aligning competencies to specific annual goals and long range needs, tying competency development into individual development plans (IDP); and providing a wide range of competency reports, charts, and graphs to support workforce decisions.

P-CMS can be used as a stand-alone module or simply integrated with other Proofpoint applications – the entire Proofpoint suite is designed to work together.
Succession Planning & Management

Proofpoint's SP&MS helps you track employee career preferences, future plans, and organizational workforce needs. It allows you to demonstrate your knowledge of your workforce and better match employees to workplace opportunities.

SP&MS is easy for anyone to use – from the individual employee that wants to lay out their future aspirations, to managers who want to develop strategies for key roles in their organizations and search for the right employee matches.
