Option D, all the way! Conduct a customer satisfaction survey, and if the customers are still awake after reading it, that's a win in my book. Bonus points if the survey includes questions like 'On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do you love this program?' and 'Would you like to join the program steering committee? Circle one: Yes, No, or Please stop calling me.'

Personally, I'd go with a combination of Options B and C. That way, you've got the financial data and the benefits realization to back up your case. Oh, and don't forget to add some fancy charts and graphs - that's always a bonus!

I agree with Bette. Option C is the way to go. Plus, it's always good to have a solid plan in place, so the program manager doesn't have to improvise at the last minute.

Option C seems the most comprehensive approach to justify the performance bonus. The benefits management plan should clearly demonstrate the program's overall success.
