PACER by HumanCap
Your KPI pacer, all year round

You set the KPIs.
PACER sets the pace.

Every company has KPIs and a plan. Getting to the finishing line is the hard part. PACER paces you there. The moment something is off track or delayed, PACER tells you early, shows you where to look, and what to do about it.

The problem

Every company is good at setting KPIs.
Running them is another story.

Nobody decides to stop. The plan simply goes missing on a busy Tuesday, fades from there, and only gets picked up again a quarter later, a week or two before the next townhall. You have seen this group chat before.

January

The launch

KPIs set, owners named, a townhall, a printed plan. Real energy in the room.

A busy Tuesday

The plan goes missing

A client emergency, an audit, a resignation. The KPIs quietly slip off the agenda.

The months after

The quiet fade

Nobody stopped believing in the plan. There is just never a meeting where it comes up.

2 weeks to townhall

The scramble

A quarter of numbers backfilled in a week. The report explains the year instead of steering it.

The plan did not fail.
It just stopped being paced.
PACER exists to make sure a busy Tuesday never kills a good plan.
What our local research found

Most plans are not ready to be run.

We reviewed strategic plans and KPI registers across Malaysian organisations, including GLCs and statutory bodies. Most carry 60 to 80 KPIs. On the three basics that decide whether a plan can actually be executed, the numbers tell the story.

68%
of strategic initiatives have a named owner. Nearly 1 in 3 belongs to everyone, which means no one.
61%
carry the right, measurable metric. The rest cannot be tracked, so they cannot be managed.
54%
have a balanced set of activities behind them. The rest are targets with no engine underneath.
Global studies are even harsher: research on strategy execution finds that roughly two thirds of well-formulated strategies fail in execution, not in design, and that in some datasets the large majority of measures never get an owner assigned at all.
A third of the average plan cannot be executed as written.
Which is why PACER starts by pressure-testing the plan itself, before anyone starts running.
What sets us apart

PACER is not just a name.
It is what we do, letter by letter.

The first two letters fix the plan, once, at diagnosis. The last three keep it moving, all the way to the finishing line.

PPressure-test

First, PACER checks whether your KPIs can be run at all.

Drop in your strategic plan document. PACER extracts every strategic initiative and its KPIs, then diagnoses each one against the SMART elements. No owner? Not quantifiable? No deadline? It gets red-flagged, and PACER suggests what to fill in, so you fix the plan before the year runs away.

AAssign

Every KPI gets one owner, by name.

PACER cascades the plan from the organisation to divisions, units and individuals, so everyone can see how their work connects to the goal. No orphan KPIs, no "the department owns it". One name reports each number. Once this is set, the diagnosis is done and the running begins.

CChart

Like a pace watch on your wrist, for the whole plan.

This is where the monitoring starts. A runner does not wait for the finish line to learn they were too slow. PACER charts every KPI against its pace, so you know you are on track or off track today, not in November. Slow down and it warns you while there is still time to recover.

EExplain

Every owner says how it is really going, in two minutes.

Started or not started. On track or off track. Progress so far, and a short remark on what is helping or blocking. The whole organisation gets an honest picture with reasons attached, not a wall of unexplained numbers.

RRespond

A red flag comes with a plan, not just a colour.

This is where our Change Management practice lives inside the product. When a KPI slips, PACER reads the reason and suggests an intervention: reassign, escalate, add temporary support, unblock the approval. Leaders do not just see the problem. They see their next move.

Suggested intervention
Digital onboarding is 3 weeks from becoming unrecoverable. The owner is tied up in non-KPI work. Options: assign temporary manpower to the tender, or hand the first milestone to the deputy this week.

The live pulse

The update meeting, without the meeting.

Leaders used to receive the real status at the very last minute. With PACER, it is live. The CEO and every HOD open it at their own convenient time, and the obstacles arrive with the suggested fix already attached.

From chasing updates to being in control

Owners post their progress as things move: started or not, on track or off track, and what is in the way. The moment an update lands, it is on the leader's screen. No waiting for Monday. No coming to the table just for updates. No unnecessary pings in the group chat.

Then PACER goes one step further. It reads the obstacle and suggests how the leader can help. When Amir has not started because he is buried in non-KPI work, his HOD sees it immediately, understands the delay that is coming, and can assign temporary manpower this week instead of discovering it at the townhall.

Meetings change too. Everyone already knows the greens. The hour goes straight to the two items that need help.

Check anytime, at your convenience

The picture is live. Open it over morning coffee or between meetings, not on someone else's schedule.

No more long update meetings

Skip the round-robin. Spend the hour on what is delayed, with a fix on the table.

No more pings for updates

The group chat goes quiet, in a good way. Hours of chasing turn into minutes of reading.

Who we are
We are not a software company. We are HR and Change Management specialists who built the tool we always needed.

For close to two decades, HumanCap has helped GLCs, statutory bodies and enterprises deliver their strategic plans. The pattern was always the same: the plan was fine, the people were capable, and the execution still drifted, because nothing paced it between townhalls.

PACER carries our practice into the product. Behind every red flag is an intervention plan drawn from our change management work, so your organisation does not just watch the numbers. It gets to the finishing line.
