Strategy, is about doing the right things.

Implementation is about doing things right.

This is intended for our executive team (salaried or partnered employees). Our remaining staff (hourly employees) have more structured positions and roles, keeping our trains running.

The basis is the division of responsibility to allow the partnership to establish resources to be responsible for the major functions.

  • Dream it.

    The real authority for policy decisions remains the full assembly of the partner-shareholders, however, we have had to establish executive committees to get things done. One partner is elected to be Policy Committee Chairman to organize and lead the six-month policy meetings and to deal with any matters affecting the whole group that is not included in the roles of other committees. This position rotates after three meetings (eighteen months) by tenure such that each partner shall, in turn, serve as Policy Chairman. Therefore, by definition, the Policy Chairman will always be a senior member who has fully become part of Stratus 9’s culture.

  • Build it.

    Strategy creation typically begins with extensive research and analysis and a process through which executive management zeros in on the top priority issues that the company needs to tackle to be successful in the long term. For each priority issue, units and teams are asked to create high-level action plans. Once these action plans are developed, the company’s high-level strategic objectives and direction statement are further clarified.

  • Grow it.

    It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

  • Sell it.

  • Through our experience, we learned to divide non-professional work into three distinct areas: accounting, communication, and administration. The first two have an impact on the offices internationally, but the third is primarily local. We, therefore, established two international sub-committees, a Finance Committee and a Communications Committee, each comprised of one representative from each of the three offices. In order to channel information and simplify meetings with outside advisers, we have also elected a chairman for each of these committees.
