Convening the coalitions that move markets
Some challenges cannot be solved by one institution. We design and run the alliances, working groups and consultations that set standards and shift market practice, drawing on direct experience founding global financial-sector initiatives.
Collective action is hard to design and harder to sustain
Industry initiatives fail for predictable reasons: unclear mandates, governance that cannot reconcile competing interests, and work programmes that produce reports rather than change. Getting the design right at the start determines whether a coalition lasts.
How we work
Mandate
Define the problem the coalition exists to solve and the outcomes members will commit to.
Design
Build governance, membership criteria, decision rules and the relationship with conveners and regulators.
Convene
Recruit founding members, facilitate negotiations and secure endorsement.
Deliver
Run the secretariat and work programme until the initiative can stand on its own.
Typical deliverables
- Alliance and working-group design, from charter to first-year work programme
- Secretariat and programme management for industry initiatives
- Multi-stakeholder consultations and supervisory dialogue
- Standards and protocol development with industry and technical partners
