We don’t really track metrics like revenue, margins, etc...all that stuff other companies track. Is that a problem?

Not at all.
You’d be surprised how many private companies don’t track a lot of that stuff well, either :) Cascade is designed to let you track qualitative action progress to completion, too. Even if you don’t have a single measure/KPI to track today, you will still instantly get insights from Cascade as you enter your goals. Our team can also help coach you on basic metric tracking, too (see this article to get a head start!).

Not everyone across our schools/departments thinks about strategy in a structured way. How would we deal with this?

Every workspace in Cascade can be tailored specifically to a team, and we can work together on coming up with a minimum standard framework to help bring them together regardless of differences. Some groups will have very robust plans, and others will just have a handful of goals. There is no perfect way to set goals for your group - the important thing is getting everything in one place to spur collaboration and alignment, and evolve from there!

Our Board/leadership team is very used to seeing very specific views during quarterly reviews. Can we ensure they will get similar reporting from Cascade?

Our team has seen just about any kind of reporting you can imagine, and there is almost always a way to get something close to what was familiar before. Having a dynamic space like Cascade creates an opportunity to bring these meetings and visuals into the future. That said, you can always grab exports and visuals from Cascade to incorporate into presentations as a back-up. Regardless, your reports and commentary are all getting compiled automatically and this makes preparation much easier!

Can Cascade help us with satisfying accreditation requirements?

Absolutely - we have customers across the board using accreditation plans, tagging initiatives throughout their strategies with accreditation requirements, etc...plenty of ways to instantly show what your university is doing to justify accreditation.
