Strategy execution platform
Every number defensible. Every commitment tracked.
Kascade is GTech’s strategy execution platform for the strategy management office. It carries the strategy from the retreat to the review pack on one linked model, from the national layer down to each position, and ties every figure to its data, its owner and its evidence.
Most strategy tools record what people type. Kascade computes. Status, health, confidence and trust are derived from the data and never keyed by hand, and every computed number opens its own calculation: from a pillar score to the objective weights, the KPI values and the rows behind each value.
The strategy office loads its objectives on the first day instead of configuring a tool. The model, the business rules, the national reference layer, the calendars and the strategy lenses arrive ready, and the platform is fitted to each entity’s workflows, thresholds, forums and reporting lines by configuration, not by a build project.
Pillars, objectives, KPIs, initiatives and benefits form one set of objects, and commitments and decisions attach to any of them. Every object links forward to what it serves and back to what feeds it.
Vision 2030, its realization programs and the national indicators, maintained centrally.
The institution’s pillars, objectives and corporate KPIs.
The sector or division that carries its share of each objective.
Departmental objectives, measures and initiatives.
Team commitments and the actions that deliver them.
A scorecard for every position, generated from what it is allocated.
From the strategy retreat to the next refresh, every stage works on the same objects, so nothing is keyed twice between planning, delivery and review. The eighth step feeds the first.
Pillars, objectives, KPIs and initiatives, shaped at the retreat or drafted from an existing document.
Ownership allocated down the six levels, with weights and reporting lines.
Targets with method, baseline and evidence; values fed from the data platform.
Initiatives, stage gates and funding releases tied to the objectives they serve.
Packs that open with the decisions required, then exceptions, then everything else.
Decisions recorded with their expected impact and checked on the date set.
Benefits declared at charter and tracked after the initiative closes.
Unproven links and changed national indicators feed the next strategy cycle.
Five disciplines run through every cycle. When a step breaks one, Kascade refuses it and names the rule that applies.
A new target saves only with its method and rationale. Advisory ranges from the trend, peers and national targets sit beside the field and are never filled in automatically, and a locked period cannot be revised.
A value accepted without evidence carries a low trust score and holds its KPI at amber, so a green built on weak data cannot exist. The owner and the approver of a value are never the same position.
The executive review pack will not generate while a commitment due in the period is still open. Each executive’s record of commitments met, missed and rescheduled is computed from the ledger, not self-reported.
A decision records what it should move, in which direction, by how much and when to check. On that date Kascade compares what happened with the claim and reports the result in the next pack.
An initiative charter needs a target KPI, an expected change and a window before it can be approved. Funding releases follow stage gates, and the benefit stays open after the initiative closes until its window ends.
Leaders receive exceptions only, each with its reason and the rule behind it. Scorecards are generated from each position’s allocation, delegation moves approvals but never ownership, and review packs open with the decisions required.
Each KPI shows its actual, forecast, owner, trust and confidence. A status explanation is drafted from the cited objects and stays a draft until the owner confirms it for the pack.
Kascade runs as a plugin inside your lakehouse. It reads governed datasets in place and writes status, exceptions and commitments back as tables you can query, with no second copy of the data and no second security model.
Everything outside the core can be switched on or off for each entity, from the balanced scorecard view and simulation to meetings, briefings and portfolio management. The core model always stays on.
Six primary lenses show the same objects and the same score in their own terms, in Arabic and English. A lens relabels and rearranges; it never hides, creates, deletes or re-scores an object, so a red cannot disappear by changing the view.
Reference lenses add a results chain for program reporting, a theory of change, performance prism coverage and an EFQM self-assessment. A balanced scorecard view and a strategy map are built in.
Kascade Intelligence drafts status explanations grounded only in the objects it cites, prepares executive briefings, runs what-if scenarios on the portfolio and helps turn an existing strategy document into a first model for the retreat.
A proposal becomes a value, a target or a decision only when a named position accepts it, and every acceptance is logged. The AI runs inside the same boundary as your data.
Vision 2030, its realization programs, sector objectives and national indicator definitions are maintained centrally. When the reference layer changes, every linked objective receives a review task.
Hijri and Gregorian dates, the Sunday to Thursday week, public holidays and reporting deadlines are built into every period, reminder and escalation.
One build runs on sovereign cloud, in your own data center or on-premise, with compliance mapping shipped with the build and the AI inside the same boundary.
The product team, the Arabic interface, terms in Saudi riyals and the response to the most urgent incidents are local by construction.
09Portfolio and benefits
Every riyal traced to an outcome.
Funding releases follow stage gates, spend reconciles against declared benefit on the portfolio view, and unlinked spend above the agreed threshold holds the period close.
Every edition runs on the same core. Sector editions carry the sector’s own measures, mandates and terms, in Arabic and English.
The full model for any institution: cascade, measurement, delivery, review and benefits on one core, fitted to your workflows by configuration.
The measures, mandates and vocabulary of health providers and clusters, from care quality to patient experience, on the same model.
The measures, mandates and reporting lines of banks and financial institutions, on the same model.
