Grip Strategy supported KCL in developing an executive incentive system that aligns leadership incentives with the company’s and its business areas’ strategic objectives. The aim was to create a clear and motivating structure that supports effective leadership of each business area while strengthening overall strategic alignment and commitment within the executive team.
The work started by building a shared understanding of the company’s strategic goals together with the CEO, clarifying how these translate into priorities across different business areas. This was followed by individual discussions with each executive team member on strategic objectives, the means required to achieve them, and incentive approaches that best support their leadership role. The insights were synthesised and discussed with the CEO and the Chair of the Board, followed by further discussions and a deepening workshop with executive team members. Based on this, a clear and concrete proposal for the incentive system was developed.
The outcome was a well-aligned incentive system that reflects both company-level and business-area-specific strategic goals, supports focused execution, and is strongly supported by the executive team and the board.
“Grip Strategy was selected as our partner because of their strong strategic perspective and ability to build a shared understanding across the leadership team. The result was a well-aligned incentive system that both the executive team and the board are very satisfied with.”
— Marko Lauraeus, CEO, KCL
