Incentive Planning In Uncertain Times: Designing Pay Plans That Stay Effective Through Volatility
Metin Aksoy, Stephen Hom
The United States presidential election marks a year that is rife with lasting economic tensions. Precision becomes board critical, as directors face exacting investor, consumer and regulatory scrutiny. In order to lead with a firm vision, boards are also expected to identify and appoint the best leaders to hold a seat at the table.
Beyond corporate performance, boards must also show leadership in climate change mitigation and responsible social governance. This last year has shown that brand trust begins in the boardroom, highlighting the importance of diligence and care in the face of public adversity, from cybersecurity breaches to severe failures in risk oversight.
How should boards strike a balance between business continuity and digital transformation? Will technology play a key role in inspiring investor confidence? How should boards navigate geopolitical nuances while maintaining corporate priorities on track?
ODX will convene with leading board directors and discuss the very latest governance agenda. FW Cook Managing Director Metin Aksoy will host a roundtable with Financial Times Senior Business Writer Andrew Hill on “Incentive planning in uncertain times: Designing pay plans that stay effective through volatility” and discuss how organizations can design incentive plans that remain effective, motivating, and resilient as economic, political, and market uncertainty reshape business priorities.
