Incentive plans are foundational to motivating the senior management team to achieve the goals of a company’s strategic plan. Determining how to best measure and reward performance against these goals is key to designing effective incentive compensation programs that ensure proper alignment of pay outcomes with various degrees of success against the plan.

The current, high-visibility, say-on-pay environment requires companies to continually demonstrate the inextricable link between executive pay and company performance. Definitions of success will continue to evolve both internally, within companies and externally, among investors and other stakeholders.
