- DEI & Unconscious Bias Experts
Reframing the way leaders and teams think and make decisions.

Trusted Global Partners


The need for decision making that reflects accurate and available information is increasingly apparent. Cognicity partners with you to help de-bias thinking and decisions at leadership levels and in systems and processes in any area of your organisation’s activity including commercial, investment, procurement and people decisions.
Our team brings over 50 years of combined experience working with corporate, government and not-for-profit organisations globally, which gives them a strong understanding of the pressures, politics, and implementation challenges that frequently stall initiatives and outcomes. Our experience helps clients beyond awareness into action, using our research-led tools, leadership diagnostics, e-learning and practical recommendations to create lasting organisational change and performance.

Rethinking The Way We Think
Companies waste millions on generic diversity training that fails to produce measurable results. This widespread failure directly causes a declining interest in DEI across global markets.
Traditional compliance modules completely ignore cognitive science and overlook critical bias hotspots within your daily operations. We fix this by targeting the unconscious mechanics of human judgment, dismantling the root causes of poor decision-making to align corporate actions with core values.
- Move beyond check-the-box compliance exercises.
- Neutralize hidden blind spots derailing your strategy.
- Secure a massive, measurable return on investment.
Industry Reality
Measurable ROI from standard training.
Bias in Decision Making
Hidden cognitive blind spots actively derail your executive strategy and subjective hiring processes.
Performance Management
Standard, subjective evaluations alienate top talent and corrupt internal performance data.
Commercial Transformation
Generic DEI compliance drains resources without protecting your operational portfolio from risk.
Problems We Solve
1
We can help you move beyond key assumptions framing process design and help you focus on fixing systemic errors of thinking.
2
As companies rapidly adopt AI tools the risk is that bias has been automated at scale. We partner with your IT team to provide specific training and recommendations.
3
We work with leaders to build consensus, and safely navigate complex social conversations without fracturing company culture.
4
The wide capability gap in middle management remains one of the largest corporate vulnerabilities. We deliver Conscious Inclusion Training to give managers practical tools.
5
To truly embed commercial change, organisations often forget that embedding commercial change requires changed behaviours, regular reviews, aligned reward mechanisms, and the right talent support.
6
Many organisations believe they are inclusive, yet lack clear evidence of how inclusion is experienced across different groups, leading to unseen barriers.
7
Decision-making is often shaped by unchallenged assumptions, groupthink, and cognitive shortcuts, limiting the ability of individuals and teams to think rigorously.
8
Unconscious biases and ingrained mental models continue to influence hiring, performance assessments, promotions, and investment decisions, resulting in inequitable outcomes.
9
Educator judgments, particularly in early learning environments, can be unintentionally shaped by bias, affecting student evaluations, expectations, and long-term trajectories.

Step 1
Diagnose the Baseline
We start with data and obtaining unique insights. We deploy our advanced Unconscious Knowledge Assessment and Inclusivity Scan tools. We work with your teams, including through one on one discussions, to identify decision making and thinking behavioural deficiencies in your organisation. These hotspots are where there are clear gaps between your stated values and behaviours and the implicit behaviours of your organisation.
Step 2
Isolate the hotspots and vulnerabilities
Isolate the hotspots and vulnerabilities
We analyse and sense check the data to map out exactly where there are cognitive blind spots in your organisation. We pinpoint systemic flaws in your critical thinking and decision making processes, your leadership decisions, your selection decisions, and your performance management approach.
Step 3
Targeted interventions
We don’t deliver generic workshops. We implement fully customised solutions for you and your teams. Our solutions may include bespoke workshops that open up much needed conversations, e-learning, coaching, critical thinking skills training that reshapes the way your team and organisation thinks.
