Cognician Workshop Capability

I've worked closely with the Cognician team on several projects and leveraged their platform and capabilities to help impact client work. It's always a collaborative experience where they actively listen and work tirelessly to deliver great works.

Pros:

One area that impressed me is the method that the team uses to bring together a proven approach to learning and culture change with great technology. At my client, the team worked with Cognician to build a pre-workshop interactive coaching tool that helped multiple C-level leaders and their directs prepare. We saw significant engagement and adoption of ideas in a way that allowed us to focus the workshop on actionable next steps and design (vs. getting people up to speed on the content or the business reasons for the talent strategy shifts).

Cons:

There are not really any "cons" or drawbacks. I love working with the team and my clients have consistently given positive feedback on the platform and capabilities.

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

The learning platform actually embeds learning in a meaningful variety of ways including team-based learning, peer-based learning, videos, articles, case studies, and interactive engagement nudges throughout that actually keep participants engaged. This is a vastly different and more effective approach when compared to traditional static training methods.

Cons:

Nothing huge stands out. Perhaps the tool could make reading peer-submitted ideas about the content a little easier.

Beyond Technology

The overall experience with Cognician was excellent. They are always pushing clients to ensure that they get the impact from using thier technologies and I would happily recommend them to any client as a provider. The team are so passionate about what they do. They are true partners that I work alongside for many initatives even when we are not deliverying for a client.

Pros:

I have worked with Cognician as partners in a number of client engagements. The Cognician technology solution is user friendly and simple but most importantly a lot of though has gone into the behavioural psychology of the platform. There is consideration of this to the tiniest detail. The team at Cognician are a joy to work with as they are always looking to continuously improve and deliver value. They will pull out all the stops to deliver. I am impressed with the continually evolving functionality and new solutions.

Cons:

The only reason for not scoring a "5" for user experience and features is that these are continually evolving and I am looking forward to the next iterations. There were times when the language used was not that clear for clients (a little too technical).

Empowering Change Through Thoughtful Learning and Insight

My overall experience with Cognician was very positive, it helped me build confidence in applying change strategies and made learning feel like a conversation rather than a lecture. I’d definitely recommend it for teams looking to grow through meaningful, evidence-based learning.

Pros:

What I liked most about Cognician was how easy it was to engage with the content, it felt personalized, interactive, and thoughtfully paced. The platform made complex change concepts feel approachable and actionable.

Cons:

What I liked least was that some modules felt a bit too guided, leaving less room for open exploration or creative input. I would’ve appreciated more flexibility in how I could navigate or reflect.

Dynamic Platform that Catalyzes Learning and Behavior Change

Phenomenal. The [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] spoke with me at least 5 times during the planning and running of the campaign to ensure success, and I am sure he would have met with me even more had I asked. There was no need though, as his team does amazing work! The [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and his team also regularly shared ideas for optimal participation and engagement (a map of participants across the globe, multiple infographics, and many other images/tools), which they executed without any additional cost. I received hundreds of positive comments from general end-users and Business Leader on the training and the Cognician platform, particularly around its high level of interactivity. In total, we received 3000+ comments in Cognician, including over 185 ideas for ways to use our ecosystem to better solve client challenges - an incredible amount of innovative, diverse data for us to use to inform our ecosystem and ventures & acquisition efforts!

Pros:

As an end-user, the Cognician platform is the most dynamic and engaging platform I have ever used for training/behavior change purposes. Its high level of interactivity made the learning process feel relevant and enjoyable every step of the way; I even got my hand slapped for advancing too quickly in the program, but I couldn't get enough of the platform! Due to the aforementioned factors, all that I learned in that course has really stuck with me, much more so than what I have learned in traditional training courses, and I apply what I learned regularly to positively change both my behavior and that of the team I lead. As an administrator, my experience was even better, if that is possible. Working with the Cognician team has been a dream. Their project management (both in planning and execution phases) is phenomenal and greatly reduced the bandwidth I typically need to run similar trainings outside of this platform. The team was happy to take the key asks I had for the training and build out the full conversation in the tool, then they allowed me to tweak as desired, which was a huge help. The team also edited video I wanted to use, provided me with whatever metrics I wanted to see during and after the challenge, and they were incredibly responsive, agile and positive.

Cons:

I would not say there was anything that I liked "least" about this software. It is impeccable, as is the team!

Personalising the customer journey

We wanted to create an enjoyable and hyper-personalised customer journey through proven wellbeing content. The Cognician team stretched us to think beyond how we would normally approach something in order to incorporate their extensive e-learning expertise. They were also very open when we had ideas that tested the software boundaries. The on-going commercial nature of the partnership continues to keep everyone focused on the customer. It is a perfect partnership.

Functionality

Pros:

The best feature is how human it feels. We had only ever tested our content in live situations human to human. To have the chat space with real avatar, the conversational reflection points and the ability to personalise our content to suit each different demographic was invaluable to creating the product our customers wanted.

Cons:

There were times when it would have been great for us to be able to roll up our sleeves and get our hands dirty by being in the software itself. For example, our pre programme questionnaire went live a year ahead of the rest of the programme and it would have been great for us - and Cognician - if we could have had more hands on analytical access to save time and reduce logistics on both sides. It is coming!

Pros:

Our delivery of a new learning program has been very smooth and well received due to the efforts of the Cognician team. They have been excellent, timely support partners. We were able to easily set up SSO and our launches to our organization have been easy and stress-free. They have taken our feedback well and have implemented our suggestions. I cannot say enough good things about working with this team!

Cons:

The reporting features (Manage/Strata) they have provided have been very helpful but there are some features that could be improved. It is relatively new, however, and I have given my feedback which has been very well received and changes may be implemented in future.

Vendor Response

Sara, thanks for your review and feedback. What a privilege to work with you and share in the delight of seeing behavior change in action with your participants. We so look forward to building and growing our programs and reporting capabilities with you. Keep the feedback coming!

Fantastic team, fantastic product

My team used cognician to help us roll out a leadership development programme at a global organisation. From conception of the idea right the way through to implementation of the final product, the cognician team were fantastic. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] ([SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]) has an amazing skillset and is able to provide ideas that ensure that a high quality, innovative and engaging product is developed. His team worked incredibly hard to ensure that the product was delivered within very tight deadlines and didn't cut corners during development. I would recommend cognician highly to produce a coaching, training or learning tool that will give the users a totally new and engaging experience.

LEARNING NEW BEHAVIOURS FOR SUCCESS

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Value for money

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

We used this software as part of our onboarding experience for new hires so that everyday new employees got exposed to new ideas, experiences, administration of how the company works. Instead of that fire hose of information in an induction programme, it creates moments of exploration and reflection over 30 days so that it lengthens the onboarding experience and is more likely to lead to retention of information and embed new behaviours. The analytics we can derive from using the software can ensure we can target participation and iterate the programme as necessary. Working with the development team at Cognician was a good experience as well.

Cons:

None of note - it is important to remember the upfront work that needs to be done by the business before translating it into the software as otherwise it will not give a good learning experience

Cognician for Digital Transformation and Newskilling

Our clients have begun to realize their digital transformation and newskilling needs, largely due to the success of the Cognician's WCA solution.

Pros:

Cognician has a number of compelling solutions for different stages of the talent lifecycle. I especially love their WCA solution to enable newskilling in the post-digital era. We've used it successfully with clients to launch digital capability campaigns and provide personalized learning solutions.

Cons:

Cognician is wonderful to work with and was flexible based on changing client needs. At the beginning of our engagement, it would have been helpful to have more information on required and optional customization features. Based on our feedback, Cognician has now developed these materials and is even easier to partner with.
