Set the tone with an overarching list. What will your team strive for in the weeks and months ahead?

3. Add teammates and align

Get your team to align to your outcomes. Work together on bringing this plan to life!

4. Report your progress in minutes

This will capture anything that happens in your strategy. No more static, boring documents.

5. Share your progress

Combine subjective commentary and objective progress.

6. Adapt and accelerate

Organize your key outcomes

Every organization has key outcomes or objectives to strive for. Set up a few focus areas to categorize them, and start bringing your plan to life.

Start first, improve later

Start by getting your broad ideas down. It’s super easy to refine and iterate later. Evolve your plans with owners and timelines. Connect your favorite tools and automate progress updates.

Work backward with the end in mind

“How should our organization or team be different a month from now? What about by next quarter?” Start there.

Import one of our templates if you need inspiration →

We have thousands of strategy templates for different industries, departments, and initiatives you can use to get inspired. They’ll import directly into your Cascade workspace.

Add teammates and align

We know strategies don’t fare well when they’re executed in siloes. Invite your teammates early to build the best possible strategy.

Invite your team →

All you need is a list of email addresses, and you’re off.

Start fleshing out your key outcomes

“How are we going to get there?” Add collaborators to your objectives. Partner with them to add specific actions/projects and measures underneath the outcomes their work contributes to.

Leave your first team update →

Share successes, call out challenges, and outline next steps across all the plans your team manages for ultimate visibility.

Report your progress in minutes

It won’t take a village to build your next strategy report. Create most-frequently used reports as templates and generate snapshots in minutes.

Begin with a basic table →

Try out an Objective, Team, or Initiative table to summarize details and progress for a group of goals.

Customize the report to tell your story →

Adjust the columns in your table, add charts, and provide context by including extra text to support your narrative.

Save your report and share it with your team →

Cascade will save your report automatically. Take a Snapshot if you wish to freeze the view in time, and share it with your team members to give them a pre-read for next week’s meeting.

Share your progress

Your team needs to know: “If it’s not in Cascade, it didn’t happen!”

Set up your connections →

Connect Cascade with the tools your team already uses to eliminate manual data entry and ensure everything stays up to date.

Manage your goals from the Home Page →

Easily review and update your work and understand how it connects to the bigger picture.

Balance the subjective and objective

Adapt and accelerate

The perfect plan doesn’t exist. Situations change, so your plans should too. Proactively adapt them so your teams are always working on the most important things.

Create new reports for different audiences →

If anything in the plan becomes a distraction, archive it. You can always bring it back later. No problem!

Adjust as needed, explain as you go

Any adjustments you make get saved to an audit log. Be bold and take ownership of your goals.

Develop a weekly cadence

Shorten as needed, but review every week. Focus on celebrating wins and addressing barriers to overcome.
