Key Challenges

Walters Wedding Estates was experiencing significant expansion in terms of both the team and revenue. They needed a tool to launch a strategic plan that the entire team could view. Prior to using Cascade, the management team found themselves having to travel to their 20-plus venues to ensure that the operation and quality of the events stayed at a premium level.

Having a plan that was easily accessible for everybody to monitor the entire organization on their set objectives was crucial. Management hit obstacles developing plans with clear alignment to the overall strategies.

We knew we needed a tool in order to monitor how we were doing against those objectives we set for ourselves.
