What is Gallup Cascade?
Gallup Cascade is a downloadable Excel file from Gallup Access. It enables a coach or an organization to easily create a range of reports and worksheets for teams and individuals. The language options for reports are English (US), English (UK), French, Spanish and German.
Cascade Team Reports
Allocating people to teams in Cascade is very easy in the Theme Table, and then you can select the groups for the Team Grid. Personalize the Team Grid with your own logo and choose from the many options on how you want to display the results.
A popular worksheet is The Power of 2. On one hand, it aids collaboration, and on the other, it can help when there is conflict or friction between two people. It opens up the conversations enabling each person to appreciate the other’s perspective.
The Team Summary report adds more visualizations. See the Theme Frequency, the theme Spark Chart and the Domain Pie Chart which show the distribution of strengths for the team. In addition, the Team Profiles report shows a Pie Chart for the top 5 themes.

Use it to help with The Best of Us activity, or to help increase confidence. In addition, the Personal Insights helps a person appreciate the dynamics of their themes. There is also a one-page visual of all 34 themes that compliments Gallup’s full 34 report.
