Cascade Down Program for the Penetration of Management Strategy

basic information

Differences from the Goal Management System There are two major differences between the goal management system and cascade down. 1. Communicating the management strategy through a story In a typical goal management system, only fragmented information such as set goals and individual issues regarding the management strategy is communicated, while the discussions and supporting information or data behind the strategic decisions are not shared. People find it easier to understand things through stories rather than fragmented information, so in cascade down, fragmented information about the management strategy is connected into a story and shared with employees. 2. A system for concretizing high-level management strategies As companies grow larger, management strategies become more abstract and vague. A typical goal management system merely communicates these management strategies at a high level of abstraction without a mechanism for concretization. If management strategies lack specificity, they do not translate into employee actions. Therefore, in cascade down, the management strategy is linked to concrete initiatives through a process of "breaking down" into realistic and specific actions.

  "Cascade down" literally means "waterfall flowing down." In business, cascade down refers to the management process of conveying higher-level policies set by the management team downwards, like a waterfall, and breaking them down into specific action plans and goals for lower-level departments, sections, and employees.
