In the years we have spent in large corporates, we have yearned to work with advisors that were able to realise that the theory and practice of change are not the same thing. To paraphrase Peter Drucker,"Implementation eats strategy for breakfast."​So we set up Pacemakers firstly to provide no-nonsense strategic advice based on experience and rigour. Secondly to provide insight on a much wider selection of build options normally available to our clients (be it in-house, by partnering or through acquisitions). Finally to help our clients choose the right option for them considering not only their aspirations but also their capabilities. After all, to get to your destination you need to choose the road that is right for our clients. |  | Seed | Jan 05, 2015 |  |
