I feel pretty confident about this one. The key is going to be demonstrating how the plan is aligned with the company's overall business strategy and rewards principles. If I can do that clearly, I think I've got a good shot at getting the plan approved.

Okay, I've got a strategy for this. I'll focus on making the case that this is a self-funded plan, so there's no real risk to the organization. And I'll make sure to identify any potential stakeholder concerns ahead of time and address them proactively.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. There are a few different elements to consider - the plan design, the measures, and how to get buy-in from senior management. I'll need to think through the best way to present all of that effectively.
