A year of driving sustainable growth
Achieving distinction in Strategy is particularly satisfying, given strategy development and implementation are core areas of expertise at Cognosis, and critical for helping our clients find success in a highly uncertain world. For over 25 years, we have ignited growth for ambitious companies across more than 65 countries, making a difference both at board level and with strategy, marketing and innovation teams. Our proven ability to turn strategic intent into real action sits at the heart of our collaborative and pragmatic approach to supporting long-term growth. Whatever the industry, we’re excited to work with people who are passionate about driving meaningful change.
The rating for Innovation reflects our track record of helping clients to develop new growth engines and bring successful business models to market. Over the past 12 months, we’ve deepened our expertise in Business Model Innovation, supporting clients in bringing transformative propositions to market. Building on this foundation, we’ve significantly extended our capability in the Circularity and Sustainability space. Our Circularity is Possible with Business Model Innovation Guide outlines how companies can shift from intention to action - turning sustainability ambitions into commercially viable business models.
“Let’s be honest: innovation is not easy. In fact, it’s inherently risky and expensive,” commented partner Duncan Campbell.
Our growing body of work in this area reflects a broader trend: Business model innovation is no longer optional - especially as organisations seek to balance growth with long-term resilience and impact.
