While still at Stern Stewart, Pat Finegan developed the very first EVA ^® plans in 1984 and 1985 for Kuhlman Corporation, Gleason Corporation and Mary Kay Cosmetics.  He also installed the first EVA ^® plan at Georgia-Pacific, plus was responsible for many of EVA ^®’s early success stories.  By 1992, the principals of F&C had personally managed implementation of at least one-third of all EVA ^® plans adopted within the United States, and were instrumental in creating today's high demand for value-based incentive compensation services.^†

Since that time, F&C has vastly extended research in performance measurement, and installed performance-based incentive plans at numerous companies.
