Experienced Consultants SVA is led by Stephen O’Byrne, Thomas Hahn and Peter Watson. We are experienced, hands-on practitioners who have the analytic and process management skills necessary to make performance measurement and incentive compensation systems truly work in complex organizations. Detailed Approach In working with clients, we strive to 1) ground our work in sound economic and corporate finance theory, 2) develop objective and empirical measures of key concepts 3) use extensive back testing and Monte Carlo simulation to validate key parameters and design decisions. Companies often change their performance measures or targets in response to "unexpected events" such as acquisitions, re-organizations, and recessions. These changes undermine the credibility of their incentive plan promises and create stronger incentives for artful negotiation rather than superior performance. We help our clients develop more durable and effective incentive plans by refining performance metrics and target setting methodologies to accommodate both expected and unexpected events and reflect the true volatility of their businesses. Our process is collaborative and we partner with management and the board of directors to build up empirically validated solutions that are designed to last. |

Distinctive Tools SVA is a R&D-driven firm and our consultants have pioneered many of the market-driven target setting tools used by companies and security analysts today to link internal business operating performance to investor requirements. In addition, we have built a unique suite of pay for performance tools to help companies ensure that internal performance measurement and reward programs are properly aligned and calibrated all the way through the organization. Information on our core methodologies is available by clicking the links to the right. Additional information can be found in publications. Range of Clients We typically work with top management and boards of directors of publicly-traded companies with multiple business units. However, we have found that our consulting process/ tools can be successfully applied to a wide range of management models and corporate governance issues. We prize long term client relationships and have worked with a number of our clients for more than ten years. |
