Leadership Development

Transforming managers into leaders with psychology.

Developed by world-leading experts in organisational psychology, behavioural psychology, neuroscience and emerging AI technologies, our Leadership programmes are powerful, practical and effective.

We help you to:

Identify and develop emerging leaders.
Develop Senior Managers into C-Suite Executives.
Transform Company Executives into Group, Organisational and Portfolio Leaders.
Build Personal Leadership Brands.

Our Foundational and Bespoke Programmes utilise the latest psychological and behavioural science to change and enhance the mindset of managers and leaders.

Cognition has the psychological expertise and commercial experience necessary to enable managers to become leaders and leaders to become visionary CEOs.

The psychologists and neuroscientists who sit on our Scientific Board have developed a gold standard, 3-step process, which mirrors the fundamentals of the Cognition Brain, which will develop flexible, visionary leaders:

Data System - Leadership Assessment and Analysis.
Story System - Building A Personal Leadership Brand.
Engagement System - Leadership Strategy.

Cognition has been fundamental in helping us define and understand our values and our culture. Their work was invaluable in supporting us on our journey and I can recommend them to any organisation looking to enhance their culture, attract the best talent and develop their people.

Cognition's use of psychology is both original and effective, especially for large organisations like Cisco….They grasped the brief and managed a complex web of internal stakeholders to deliver more than we expected.

After previously working with other consultancies, Cognition brought a clear understanding of psychology and behavioural science to our audience, and this proved much more successful in engaging our investors.

Assessment
and Analysis

The Leadership Assessment and Analysis program was developed by the psychologists and neuroscientists who lead our Scientific Board.

It consists of five components which function as a coherent whole, giving a full profile of the leadership assets and deficits of each individual.

Building a Personal
Leadership Brand

On the basis of the output from the assessment and analysis (the Data System), we will build an employee brand for each leader.

From establishing credibility with stakeholders to projecting a clear image of their values, leaders must cultivate a personal brand to succeed. This process involves:

Identifying personal values
Ensuring congruence between values and behaviour
Identifying key messages that define the individual employee brand
Articulating a personal brand story
Aligning the personal brand with the organisational brand

Leadership Strategy

The final phase of our programme will be to build a leadership strategy for each individual.

The core objectives will be to:

Apply learnings from past and current leadership programmes for the commercial benefit of the PIF.
Optimise organisational performance by identifying business opportunities across individual and group companies.
Identify opportunities for cross-pollination between companies.
Develop a mentoring program to discover and develop new leaders.
Continue professional development under a structured program led by the Scientific Board.
