Good strategy is smart. But great strategy is inspiring and exciting, too.

Building a strategy for your own business is hard. Understanding that of your competitor’s is even harder.

Through working with leadership teams over many years, we have tailored an approach that ensures competitor intelligence can have genuine impact in the strategy planning cycle. Leveraging competitor intelligence, we offer a range of bespoke tools to immerse you in the competitor mindset, pressure test assumptions and identify what’s required to secure long-term competitor advantage.

A strategy can seem daunting to build with so much data, so many opinions and so little time. At Cognosis, we look to strip strategy of any complicating factors, focusing on the root actions and behaviours that will drive strong advantage for your business today and in the future.

Whether you need to rethink the strategy for a brand, portfolio or your entire organisation, our experienced team will help you to get to a plan of action which is creative, bold and inspires engagement and commitment from the people who make it happen.

In a world that's evolving at break neck speed, the strategies that stand the test of time are those built by teams adept at understanding future challenges and opportunities.

At Cognosis, we help our Clients navigate these uncertain waters using a range of quantitative and qualitative methods, helping you build a clearer view of what could be on the horizon and how to make the most of it.

To build a strategy that is capable of driving long term growth, the first step is to ensure there is a growth culture that can support it.

The bulk of strategic planning goes into searching for opportunities and mapping out how to go after them. But just as much value is created by building a powerful growth culture. Where leadership teams are clear on the mindset, structural, people and management practices needed to drive growth.

Underpinned by a data set of +140k companies, we have built diagnostics on how to drive sustainable growth and how to drive a customer centric organisation.
