Our powerful data collection and analysis software has been developed around principles that acknowledge the complexity of social situations. It identifies the 'attractors' around which commonly held beliefs form; the 'modulators' that create and perpetuate them; and the early warning signs of new and emergent trends that may become your future threats or opportunities.
Where change makes planning difficult, or where the complexity of the social landscape makes decision-making problematic, increasing organisational resilience demands ever greater levels of social engagement.
Cognia provides the tools and methods to achieve that engagement. By listening more intently and observing more closely, we can help you to act more quickly, more decisively and more effectively, in even the most uncertain and complex of situations.

Welcome to 
Cognia is an innovative social engagement and decision-support consultancy.
We provide organisations with tools and methods to understand the social culture in which they operate, to discover how to become more socially relevant, and we provide new methods for managing even the most complex situations.
At Cognia we use a innovative new approach to managing uncertainty.
It's called "listening".
Cognia are accredited practitioners of,
and exclusively use
tools and methods.
At Cognia, we believe that while we are living in an increasingly fast-paced and uncertain world, there are some things that haven't changed in millennia.
Beneath the unrelenting demands of modern life, we all still exchange knowledge just as our ancient ancestors would have done; through stories drawn from personal experiences.
The short anecdotal stories that we tell each other across the dining room table, in the supermarket checkout queue, or around the office coffee machine serve exactly same evolutionary purpose as they would have done in any social setting, in any age, in any part of the world. They serve to warn others of danger or surprise, to explain, to encourage, to admonish, to share understanding and to reinforce values.

So why, we ask, aren't the personal stories that people tell about their experiences with modern life being seen for the rich source of research data that they are?
