Stratis works on-site with the leadership team to design and install the operating model the business actually needs — not a theoretical governance framework, but a practical architecture that people will use.
The work is grounded in the four pillars — Finance, People & Organisation, Commercial, and Operations. Governance and control weaknesses rarely sit in one area. Financial controls may be weak while commercial accountability is absent. Operating cadence may be missing while people management relies on informal arrangements. Stratis examines the governance requirement across all four pillars to build a complete picture.
The four lenses — Governance & Decision Rights, Founder Dependence, Systems/Data/AI, and Risk & Compliance — cut across every pillar to reveal the systemic patterns. The Governance lens defines who decides what, with what authority, and with what accountability. The Founder Dependence lens identifies where the business relies on one person and designs the delegation architecture that replaces it. The Systems/Data/AI lens identifies where technology can support governance through dashboards, automated reporting, and AI-driven monitoring. The Risk lens ensures compliance and exposure are governed, not ignored.
Stratis then builds the KPI framework — identifying the metrics that actually drive profitability and enterprise value, structuring how they’re measured, and installing the routines that ensure they’re reviewed and acted on. This includes the management routines — meeting cadence, reporting rhythm, and escalation protocols that turn governance from a document into a daily discipline.
Stratis doesn’t hand over a governance manual and leave. Stratis installs the operating model inside the business, works alongside the team to embed it, and stays on-site until the routines are running without founder dependence.
