40 Cascade Testimonials

"When it comes to execution, it's on them to do it. They take full ownership, and they take accountability. That creates pride in the outcome and a beautiful Cascade of results down the line."

"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."

"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."

“We are looking forward to Cascade allowing our strategic management team to centralize and visualize our entire strategic plan, across multiple departments and regions.”

"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."

“Cascade keeps us focused on strategy, so we're not wasting time on things that aren't valuable to our business.”

“The big shift is from everyone being enthusiastic & doing lots of work to that same thing, but in a structured way, inputting information into one place.”

"I really love the dashboards. For me, I'm quite a visual person and I love visual representations. The system gets its name from the notion that strategy Cascades from a high organization down to functional units and various strategic areas and projects. It makes it very easy to navigate the strategy because of the logical way that it is all structured. The setup time was fairly minimal; the time it takes for new people to learn how to use the system is negligible; it's very simple and straightforward. It's just great to finally have that representation of the linkage between the university strategy, the library strategy and all the projects and tasks that we're working on."

“We’re strengthening our ability to prioritize and make strategic decisions. The right decisions can be made more quickly now.”

"The ability to see a simple, graphic layout [of] our strategic initiatives, who's working on them, what is the expected date of completion and what is their current progress. As a manager, Cascade makes it easy for me to stay on top of strategic initiatives so that they get done. Being a big company, we really exploit the ability to have different plans. Each area has its leader and that leader is in charge of his own plan. This helps us to independently view the work of different teams under the same layout."

“Cascade keeps our strategy alive and in the cloud. It helps me to constantly focus our goals back to our vision.”

"The cascading relationship of strategic objectives, goals & activities, and the ability to link them to multiple objectives, with easy tools to track progress & produce reports. It keeps our senior team focused on the big picture."

“Sometimes it takes an investment but it also takes commitment. We needed to be intentional and deliberate in tracking our strategic decisions to maximize our impact. Our diverse initiatives required alignment, and risk mitigation was crucial.”

"With Cascade's support, we've become agile, insightful, and more efficient in our operations."

"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.”
