- 10,000+ people Change management at organisational scale, taking frontline teams through new ways of working.

What Stratos does
Stratos takes on enterprise programmes that are commercially significant, highly interdependent and already under delivery pressure: IT outsourcing and vendor transitions, operating model change, platform migrations and enterprise SaaS implementations.
Clients get structure, governance and execution discipline from mobilisation through to a stable handover, including management of implementation partners and outsourced providers to agreed scope, plan and quality.
