What to expect
You’re here because you see the potential of Cascade to transform the way your team tackles strategy. Now, it’s time to bring other stakeholders on board. We’ve pulled together a custom toolkit just for you, packed with resources to help you build a compelling case and get others as excited as you are.
Setting the Scene: Your Path to Gaining Buy-In
In any organization, new ideas take root when there’s a clear and compelling story to support them. Whether you’re getting buy-in from your direct manager, a department head, or a cross-functional leader, this resource hub will help you present the value of Cascade with clarity and impact.
When you first start using Cascade
You and your team will get some amazing quick wins - like visibility over what the whole team is doing and a clearer understanding of how your work connects back to the company’s strategy.
Over the next three months
As you and your team continue to implement Cascade, you’ll begin to see some incredible results.
As Cascade becomes the center of your strategic ecosystem
You’ll start to see exactly where your work fits into your organization’s web of strategic priorities. You’ll be able to see the status of all of the work you own in one place, no matter where it’s managed, and you’ll have all the information you need to collaborate with other teams.
After all of your projects are connected to Cascade
You’ll be able to visualize all of your work, and its impact, in one location. No more waiting until your next performance review or having to cross reference between all your other tools.
