What do you like best about Cascade?

Very user-friendly tool that allows us to visualise and share all the elements of our strategy.

The “snapshots” feature makes it really easy to compile and produce reports in seconds… no need to spend countless hours on spreadsheets! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cascade?

Nothing to report so far! The team has been very helpful with all the concerns and questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cascade:

Most comprehensive tool out there to align your teams from monthly projects to the company’s overarching strategic objectives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cascade solving and how is that benefiting you?

We’re now able to visualise the connection and alignment from everyone’s granular tasks (daily operations) to the company’s overall objectives.

What do you like best about Cascade?

The use of use and implementation. It was easy to implement and even easier to administer. Was able to figure most things out without any support or training. But when I did have questions the knowledge base and/or customer success staff where able to resolve my questions/issue in minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cascade?

I wish there was a way to track a KPI as a steady state, ie maintain 85% coverage or something like that. KPIs seem to all have a start and end point without the ability to track a level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cascade solving and how is that benefiting you?

Solving the ability of board reporting. It was a huge manual effort in the past to collect progress reports, aggregate the data, and put it into a presentation. Now with the click of a button I can generatemy report, PDF it, and include it in the board package. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No real downside to using Cascade so far. Perhaps getting everyone up to speed with using the software and accessing all of the features, which can take some time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being more honest with ourselves on how we are progressing with our strategic plan initiatives and tactics. Using Cascade has been a catalyst for action on our strategic initiatives for sure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cascade?

Cascade Strategy is highly effective in doing what is promised. It facilitates us in collaboratively defining and reviewing our strategies while giving insight into our progress against the required outcomes. The level of detail is always as needed since easy to adjust.

Cascade takes continuous improvement seriously as the tools are mature, aligned to our needs, with sufficient customization for our specific usage if we ever need that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cascade?

Any suggestions we ever had to improve Cascade tools were either applied to later releases or (in more cases) the Cascade team quickly helped us understand how we could best use the tool - much to our benefit. We are quite happy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cascade solving and how is that benefiting you?

A significant benefit of using Cascade is the ability to involve anyone in strategy. As a result, we have strengthened our sense of ownership across the organization and can better illustrate how we live our mission and values in what we do.

Easy to navigate system with an intuitive interface making it super simple to capture all the elements of our team strategy.

What do you like best about Cascade?

Feature-rich software that is highly intuitive for users. Enables strategy execution, providing senior managers visibility and alignment across the organisation and a useful task management tool for individual users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cascade?

No much to dislike! However, to make the most out of the platform, organisations / teams need to invest time to fully understand the feature set and ensure it is embedded in their processes. Commitment from senior management and individuals is essential. Importantly, Cascade provides significant support throughout using the platform (onboarding, post-onboarding, trials) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cascade solving and how is that benefiting you?

Unifying strategic direction and decisions in an organisation. Transforms strategic initiatives into actionable tasks, projects, goals. Senior managers have oversight across an organisation (regardless of complexity and industry) of performance against strategic initiatives, while individual staff have a clear understanding of their KPIs / tasks, and how these ultimately fit into the broader strategy of the organisation.
