Case Study: Laerdal Medical achieves strategic clarity and disciplined execution with Cascade

Laerdal Medical reduces objectives from 29 to 17 with Cascade

Laerdal Medical, a global leader in patient simulation and medical product development, faced challenges with strategic fragmentation. Their mission-critical goals were hindered by using disparate tools like Excel and internal systems, which led to diluted priorities and a lack of a single source of truth for their strategy. To achieve their ambitious goal of helping save one million more lives annually by 2030, they needed to consolidate and operationalize their strategy, moving away from complex planning exercises.

By implementing the Cascade platform, Laerdal rebuilt its corporate strategy with a clear focus on discipline and execution. The solution provided a single source of truth, reducing objectives from 29 to 17 and connecting KPIs to long-term goals. This fostered transparency and ownership, enabling leadership to make faster, data-driven decisions. As a result, Cascade helped Laerdal shift to a strategy-led performance approach, building a foundation for disciplined execution across their entire global organization.
