What is it?
Our Strategy Audits include a comprehensive review of your strategy by our team of experts. You'll receive a written report that assess the quality of the various elements of your strategic plan and provides concrete recommendations for improvements and changes. We can perform the strategy audit either based on a documents(s) that you send to us (such as an Excel file) or from within Cascade if you've already got your strategy inside the platform. The key benefits of the Strategy Audit are:
We can also arrange to repeat the Strategy Audit at regular intervals to provide ongoing insight into the quality of your strategic plan. Our Strategy Audits are a 3-Step process.
Who's it for?
Most organizations can benefit from our strategy audits, and we've yet to complete an audit without finding significant areas to help client's improve the 'execution readiness' of their plans! That said, our audits work best if you already have some semblance of a strategic plan, or at least a high level set of goals that you want to achieve.
Our primary expertise is in the area of strategy and how to write strategic plans that will actually be implementable. We're not necessarily experts on your particular industry, so we avoid giving advice on the actual content of your strategy in terms of the goals themselves.
What is it?
Whether you're creating a strategic plan from scratch, or simply want to improve the structure and execution readiness of your existing strategy, one of the key elements that you'll need to get right is your Strategy Model. The Strategy Model Workshop consists of:
There are lots of different models that you could implement, including:
Furthermore, you may also wish to overlay a Strategic Framework into your plan, such as:
Here at Cascade, we're completely strategy agnostic but have experience working with most of the models and frameworks out there. Our team will help you to choose what works best for your organization and then implement that in Cascade. We'll also help you with the first steps of creating or modifying your strategy to fit with your shiny new Strategy Model.
Who's it for?
Almost every organization can benefit from a Strategy Model Workshop. Whether you're creating a brand new strategy and want to ensure it's setup right for success from day one, or if you have an existing strategy that has lost momentum, or needs a bit of TLC.
Our Strategy Model Workshops are designed to be flexible to meet the needs of small organizations right through to large multinationals with complex organizational structures.
What is it?
Creating an effective strategic plan isn't hard. But getting a large group of people to write an effective and consistent set of goals can be a challenge. Our Objective and KPI workshops are a hands-on process of helping your team finalize their strategic plan, with a specific focus on writing powerful Objectives and highly measurable KPIs:
By the end of the workshop, you should have:
You're not just getting a workshop, but rather a well-designed process that starts with a customized template where your team can do their strategy pre-work. This flows all the way through to the final output of having a first version of your completed strategic plan.
Who's it for?

Who's it for?
Really any organization can benefit from a Strategic Governance Workshop. Maybe you are implementing a new Strategy process for the first time, or refining the processes already in place. Either way, working through your meeting and reporting structure can ensure your teams are staying focused on executing the strategy!
Our Strategy Governance Workshops are designed to be flexible to meet the needs of small organizations right through to large multinationals with complex organizational structures.
What is it?
Implementing a successful Strategic Governance program is a great start to ensuring you stay focused around delivering your strategy. However sometimes, it can help to have your strategy meetings facilitated by an expert. Cascade's Strategic Progress Reviews work as follows:
The key benefits of having a strategy expert from Cascade facilitate these sessions, rather than simply running them yourselves are:
We'll run the meetings either onsite at your offices, or remotely depending on your location. We'll also couple them with the a separate Cascade Quarterly Business Review where we'll introduce your team to new Cascade features and discuss the general health of your Cascade implementation.
Who's it for?
Most organizations can benefit from facilitated strategic progress meetings. You might find that after a year or so, you feel comfortable to take over running the meetings yourselves, and that's great! But regardless having an expert from the Cascade team to get you off to a great start for your new strategy is sure to bring value as your organization adjusts to its new Strategy Rhythm.
Our Strategy Governance Workshops are designed to be flexible to meet the needs of small organizations right through to large multinationals with complex organizational structures.
What is it?
You have lots of data flowing throughout your organisation, tracking progress, metrics, performance etc. Rather than wasting time manually entering this data into a new system for reporting, we’ll help you make Cascade the central repository for all of your corporate performance information.
After the initial planning session, you should have:
This is not just a technical discussion for IT professionals. We’ve seen lots of different ways to measure progress and performance and can help you unlock the value of the data you capture in your other systems.
Following the initial session, our team will work with you and/or your IT team to ensure that the various systems are connected and running smoothly.
Who's it for?
Every organisation can benefit from integrating Cascade with their existing systems. Regardless of your size, you will have data sitting somewhere that you’d like somewhere else.
