"Cascade's framework made us sit back and kind of focus on what we are really trying to accomplish, not just big picture items, but steps that get you there."
"The university is a very large and complex organization and it's really a federated structure. Top down control alone doesn't work here. People need to be able to collaborate and enjoy some local empowerment. Linked with information and visibility across teams, Cascade gave them the information and opportunity to drive that collaboration."
"As an NFP with limited resources and huge passion, it's sometimes difficult to make sure we stay on track with the big picture while juggling many balls in the air at once. Cascade offers us the perfect tool to record and track our progress throughout the year. We love that we can assign tasks across our organisation's business areas to individual staff and volunteers."
“Cascade has really helped us refine the way we approach strategy—we are able to adapt and refocus our goals and priorities based on the insightful staff updates we review each quarter. As a result, we have developed a more unified vision of the impact we aim to achieve through our mission-driven work."
“It’s so important to ensure that strategic planning, goal tracking, and reporting are as straightforward and frictionless as possible. And Cascade helped us achieve that.”
"The functionality is intuitive to the needs of strategic planning professionals and their teams. Having the different plan interfaces and work boards allows for users to jump into exactly what they need then and there."
"Innovation is such a huge focus for us and it can be very hard to know when/where innovation is happening. Cascade allows us to pinpoint where innovation is taking place."
"Cascade provides an excellent eco-system which enables multiple stakeholders within our company to collaborate in developing and managing a strategic plan. It's visual and does away with spreadsheets. It ensures clarity and ongoing alignment. Very powerful and flexible. Excellent support."
"By putting all our goals into a single tool, and looking at it all together, we realised we had gaps. We were then able to focus and align. Cascade was able to match the software to our tools and processes, which made it a easier to roll out to the whole organization."
“Cascade is a cool tool. I used to put things in Excel, but it was so hard to keep up with. Cascade is very defined and easy to use.”
"With Cascade, we maintain constant focus and can easily reprioritize what's important for the company."
"I would highly recommend it. It is very easy to use and the plan can be sliced and diced in many ways and many levels. We took some time to celebrate some major accomplishments in our strategic plan which was very exciting. Additionally, I use snapshots to provide updates to the City Manager during my regularly scheduled Public Works updates."
"Cascade Strategy Execution SaaS takes the complex area of generating accountability around strategic initiatives and makes it clear, concise, and transparent. The thought that has been put into the structure of getting it set up essentially forces you to consider the alignment of your goals, objectives, focus areas and ultimately vision. Cascade is one of the few that gets that the fundamental unit of strategy implementation is NOT individual goals or tasks it is people, and Cascade re-emphasizes this point subtly throughout the platform."
"Our dream is for everyone to have a home with a proper floor, where no one has to sleep on the ground. With this dream, we invite everyone to contribute to overcoming the situation of poverty in which more than 200 million people live.”
"Cascade is easy to use and administer. The new enhanced Project Management tool has allowed us to get rid of our old tool and are now using Cascade to manage our projects. The reporting features are dynamic and help everyone in the organization understand where they fit in the "big picture" as they align their daily activities with the organization's high-level goals and vision."
