This level of thinking includes cash flow and funding sources for all organizational planning.

Current owners and stakeholders need to be meticulous in determining if the current cash flow can support a robust incentive program. Any program that jeopardizes cash flow could ultimately be dangerous to the continuing operations of the organization.

Looking at funding through both a buying and selling lense helps current owners to secure their value stream and helps future owners to know that the organization is sustainable with and without the current ownership in place.
