Cascaded Initiatives

Use

Large organizations are commonly required to create initiatives that link and span across contexts. For example, an initiative at the corporate level may have multiple underlying related initiatives at the divisional level. Cascaded initiatives tie very closely to the concept of cascaded scorecards and enable true cascading of strategy across the organization.

Features

You can do the following with cascaded initiatives:

• If your role has permission to create initiatives, you can create cascaded initiatives.

  You can create a group of initiatives that are linked together by virtue of the fact that they are linked to a hierarchy of cascaded objectives

  You can also create initiatives that are linked across contexts. This is a quick way of copying an initiative to many contexts at the same time.

  For more information, see Cascaded Initiatives Development.

• If your role does not have permission to create initiatives, you can view cascaded initiatives in the Initiatives tab.

  You can select individual contexts from the Context dropdown list to see the cascaded initiative. You can also select Show All Initiatives (Across Contexts) from the Show dropdown list to see the cascaded initiative in the designated contexts.

  You can display just the linked initiatives by choosing Linked Initiatives from the Show dropdown list.
