Hi Gunjan,
Good to know your interest in this topic. Let me try to put in some thoughts for you.
Scope:
For an organization to have an Online PMS, it is essential to have a complete change in mindset from working in traditional ways to implementing a transparent and sophisticated system.
Some of the strategic focus which Online PMS must contain are:
1. Alignment 2. Accountability 3. Transparency 4. Quality 5. Development
Typically the following are the areas which constitute an Online PMS.
1. Goal Management 2. Appraisal Management 3. Training & Development 4. Performance Linked Remuneration 5. Succession/Career Planning
One other key feature of Online PMS is the Decision Support System Capability which should provide the management with a tool to monitor and improve performance proactively.
Implementation Process:
Organizations have different workflows and different Performance Management Process, hence softwares need to be customized and configured as per organizations needs.
Linking Six Sigma to PMS:
Six Sigma is a precursor to Corporate Performance Management and CPM is linked to Employee Performance Management ( u can find a number of resources for this on the net ).
Quality Initiatives ensure that processes and systems are in place such that it can align organization activities to corporate strategy. Strategic Employee Performance Softwares follow the six sigma approach of DMAIC By applying six sigma process design and improvement techniques one can make significant progress in aligning Employee Performance with business objectives.
