Meet your new strategy platform
Cascade is the operating system that connects strategy to execution, across every segment, every team, every market [1.1]. For 3M, this means one place where Safety and Industrial, Transportation and Electronics, and Consumer run the same framework and adapt together.
Thousands of global organizations depend on Cascade
3M has unique challenges.
Cascade solves them all.
Challenges
Solutions
Running the 3M eXcellence operating system across three business groups, each with its own end markets, customers, and margins, requires visibility across a consolidating global plant network.
Cascade gives each business group its own execution layer, while leadership keeps one view of progress against the same framework.
As 3M consolidates its manufacturing footprint to fewer than 100 sites, leadership has to keep site transitions from disrupting product launches and growth targets.
Cascade keeps transformation progress and growth targets in the same live view, so both are visible to leadership at the same time.
As the portfolio changes in 2026, from the Precision Grinding & Finishing sale to the planned fire and safety joint venture, strategy ownership, baselines, and team structures shift with it.
Cascade lets you restructure the plan as the portfolio changes, keeping ownership and history intact instead of rebuilding from scratch.
Plan, progress, and performance all in one platform.
Structure your strategy using any framework, from OKRs to Balanced Scorecard, or build something entirely your own.
Digitize your plans so every objective, initiative, and KPI lives in one place with clear ownership and live progress.
Import existing decks, spreadsheets, or PDFs and let AI translate them into a structured, aligned plan in seconds.

"If you ask any of the plant managers what the strategy is today, they can tell you. They know Speedup. They know the six focus areas. That was not the case before Cascade, and for me, that is the big advantage."
