We are seeing a pattern emerge.
At company after company, the same thing is happening. Someone on the engineering team goes deep on AI tools — they figure out the workflows, get dramatically faster, and their manager notices. Leadership gets excited.
And then it stops there.
The knowledge stays with one person. The rest of the team watches from a distance, unsure where to start. The company is paying for AI tools that maybe 20% of the team is actually using well.
That gap — between the early adopters and everyone else — is what Cascade Group exists to close.
Who we are
The right combination for this work.
We work at the intersection of software development and business outcomes. We've been inside engineering teams, managed technical people, and understand what it takes to move an organization through change.
That combination matters for this work. Closing the AI adoption gap isn't a technology problem — the tools are good. It's a people and behavior problem. It requires someone who can sit with an engineer and understand how they actually work, and someone who can educate leadership on what meaningful AI adoption looks like — and what it doesn't.
That's what we do.
Working with engineering and product teams at mid-size tech companies.
