Meet your new strategy platform

Cascade is the operating system that connects strategy to execution, across every segment, every team, every market. For L.B. Foster, this means one place where Rail and Infrastructure Solutions plan together as the portfolio keeps evolving.
Thousands of global organizations depend on Cascade

LB Foster has unique challenges.

Cascade solves them all.

Challenges

Solutions

More than seven divestitures and product line exits since 2021, and precast expanding into water. With the reset largely complete, the plan now has to drive growth.
Cascade lets you add, exit, or restructure businesses in the plan without rebuilding it, so the strategy always reflects the current portfolio.
Investors want clean, consistent metrics on the shift toward higher-margin, technology-enabled offerings, every single quarter.
Cascade connects the growth initiatives to the metrics investors care about, so progress on the shift is visible and traceable at any point.
Rail and Infrastructure Solutions carry different parts of the growth story. Keeping both visible in the same plan takes more than a set of spreadsheets.
Cascade gives each segment its own execution layer, while leadership keeps one view of how the whole portfolio is tracking against the strategy.

Plan, progress, and performance  all in one platform.

"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."
