Value Based Compensation Framework

Our Services

  • Value based incentive systems

    We align employee and executive compensation with long-term value creation establishing a direct link between individual contributions and enterprise success measured by profit, economic profit or total shareholder return.  

  • Strategy and Framework Design

    We define the philosophy and purpose of value-based compensation, align incentives with owner strategy and value creation goals, decide between cash-based vs. equity-based models. Furthermore, we design profit-sharing formulas or economic profit-based bonuses, develop equity or phantom equity participation schemes, structure performance hurdles and vesting mechanics), balance short-term and long-term incentives (STI/LTI mix).

  • Financial Modelling and Simulation

    We define the appropriate ambition level of KPIs used in incentive plans based on our Outside-in-target setting model, analysis incentive plan payouts under multiple business scenarios, simulate value creation thresholds and stakeholder returns and stress-test plan sustainability and alignment with cash flows.

  • Investor communication

    We develop investor-ready narratives around business model and value drivers, align external reporting with capital market expectations, support earnings calls, investor decks, or annual reports with compelling storytelling.
