Meet the Authors:
A Calculated Approach to Goal Setting
November 4, 2025 | 2:00 PM ET | Zoom
Join us for a live conversation with the authors of ISS-Corporate’s latest report, A Calculated Approach to Goal Setting. This interactive session will explore how companies can design executive compensation programs that are both rigorous and aligned with shareholder interests, using data-driven methods and statistical modeling.
In this live session, we’ll discuss:
- Benchmarking and metric selection for balanced program design
- Avoiding common pitfalls such as “softball” goals and unbalanced payouts
- Leveraging Monte Carlo simulations to enhance goal-setting rigor
- Trends in disclosure practices and investor expectations
- Industry-specific insights into metric prevalence across S&P 500 companies
Come prepared to engage!
We encourage attendees to turn their cameras on, ask questions, and actively participate in the discussion. This is a unique opportunity to connect directly with executive compensation specialists, share perspectives, and deepen your understanding of compensation program design.
