With solid client credentials and broad international experience Cognosis is on a quest for better strategy.

Who We Are

As clients, the founder Partners, Richard Brown and Michael Laird, pioneered successful new planning approaches in the international drinks industry.

Cognosis is now a successful mid-size strategy firm working with a range of top teams in blue-chip multinationals.

Cognosis’ consulting offer is unique. Our approach to strategy – Whole-Mind Planning – is grounded in the way modern managers think. It’s rigorous and fact-based, but also emphasises innovation and engagement.

Whole-Mind Planning is fast and effective, generating solutions people believe in and want to deliver. We’ve applied it successfully in over 80 countries.

We are credited with introducing a new management idea: Emotionally Intelligent Strategy. Our ground-breaking EDGE research drives and supports our client work. We are committed to delivering world-class strategy – strategy that’s emotionally intelligent because it’s born of strategy-making that’s intelligently emotional.
