www.proofpoint.net - Leader's Edge is the New Zealand contact point for Proofpoint Systems Inc. They have a family of web-based performance diagnostic programmes that enable people in organisational development roles to drive performance improvement projects that deliver results. The PASS (tm) system keeps track of multiple projects, facilitates ROI calculations, drives sponsor engagement and much more. Its unique feature is its ability to provide optimal solution sets to whatever is getting in the way of exemplary performance.

Leader's Edge recommends the PASS suite of programmes to people in organisations who are ready to move on from traditional 'hit and miss' type organisational development to proven methodology that guides the results you need in a predictable and repeatable manner. Organisations involved in Balridge Awards or other quality initiatives will find PASS an indispensable tool for getting there faster and fitter.

Contact Leader's Edge to arrange an in-person briefing on the capabilities of the systems and a run through of the FreePASS free 30 day trial system. All you need is an internet connection and a desire to drive performance improvement in your organisation.
