Goals Connected
to Strategy
Every individual goal connected to the corporate priority it serves, with AI alignment scoring showing how much each person's work is advancing the strategy.
Performance
on Live Data
Individual KPIs flow directly from the systems where work happens, so performance reflects real data, with AI flagging who's on track and where goals are slipping.
Context Behind
Every Goal
AI captures the qualitative context behind individual progress, ingesting updates, meetings, and conversations so the story behind every goal stays current.
Individual Performance Views
Build individual performance reports showing each person's goals, progress, and health scores in one place, so leaders see how anyone is tracking at a glance.

Goal Setting

Connect every goal to strategy

Link individual goals to the team and corporate objectives they support, building a clear hierarchy from strategy down to every person.
Score every goal with AI alignment  showing how much each person's work is advancing the strategy, so alignment is measured rather than assumed.
Structure individual goals your way with objectives, KPIs, milestones, and health scores configured to match how your organization runs.
Make ownership and alignment visible across the organization, so everyone can see who owns what and how it connects to the bigger picture.

FAQs

Questions? We have answers.

Is Cascade an HR performance management system?
No, and it isn't trying to be. Cascade does not run performance review cycles, engagement surveys, one-on-one workflows, recognition programs, or career development tracking. Cascade is the strategic layer that connects individual goals to corporate strategy, tracks performance on live data, and shows every person how their work contributes. It works alongside your HR performance tools rather than replacing them. Cascade is built for the strategic alignment those tools don't provide.
Can Cascade work alongside our HR systems?
Yes. Cascade pulls org structure and people data from your HRIS, so reporting lines and team structures stay in sync without duplicate entry. Your HR systems remain the system of record for people data, while Cascade adds the strategic alignment layer, connecting individual goals to corporate strategy and tracking performance on live data. The two work together.
How quickly can we have individual performance running in Cascade?
Organizations already using Cascade for strategy can extend to individual performance in days, since the strategy structure is already in place. New implementations typically take 2 to 4 weeks to connect HRIS data, set up the goal hierarchy, and configure performance views. Cascade's AI Assisted Planning imports existing goal frameworks from spreadsheets or documents, so you start with your current structure.
Is our performance data secure?
Yes. Cascade is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified, GDPR compliant, with AES-256 encryption at rest and in transit. SSO, role-based access, and full audit logs come standard. Individual performance data and AI-captured context are isolated and never used to train public AI models. Data residency is available in US, EU, and AU.
