Most companies offer long-term incentive awards and many companies have the same long-term incentive award.  This one-size-fits-all approach can lead to proxy surprises for various stakeholders, and often sets up friction between executives, committee members, and shareholders.  This panel illustrates how having multiple designs on the table and stress-testing the alternatives through analytical modeling can reduce friction, head off surprises, and result in a more informed design decision.
