Pacemakers.io | Council for Inclusive Capitalism

We are an advisory firm focussed on helping financial services organizations transform themselves through digital technology. When we set up our firm, we quickly realized that the core of successful transformation in finance is to help our clients focus on their customers' needs. Realizing that these needs go beyond mere financial upside, we refocused our work on helping our clients focus on a broader matrix of outcomes that include sustainability, social impact, and fair governance.

Purpose

Pacemakers believe that in order to evolve financial services, firms need to collaborate with smaller, more agile and more focussed firms. Big firms realise this but they use very inefficient ways of identifying the ideal partner. We constantly hear of collaboration between established players and innovative challengers. But we also hear that many of these do not deliver expected outcomes. The reason for these failed collaborations is rarely on one side.

Most failed collaborations fail for reasons that are not technological. A successful collaboration needs to of course ensure capability but it also needs to ensure compatibility.

We launched Pacemakers because we felt there was a need for a better approach in selecting a partner. We adopted some of the processes of executive search to help our clients find the right partner as a strategic supplier, joint venture or even acquisition.

We believe it is vital to state clearly to the world the set of our beliefs about Inclusive Capitalism. As such, we start with our Statement of Guiding Principles for Inclusive Capitalism. Knowing that words alone are not enough, each of us is making a series of commitments about how we will operate our institutions so that they help achieve Inclusive Capitalism. These commitments are forward-looking statements based on current goals, expectations and assumptions, which are not guarantees of future performance.
