5D's mobilises Collective Intelligence and generates Whole-Mind solutions. Each stage combines inputs that are fact-based, future-focused, people-centred and action-driven.

5D’s ensures that a strategy works for people from every angle. We use this framework to shape all our projects, tailoring it to client’s specific needs, because we know it delivers.

Each step of the process has its own objective and tools.

Define - Engage Perspectives

Great strategy starts with listening. ‘Red Book’ interviews give people the opportunity to express their opinions, ideas and insights without having to rely on the facts and the data.

Decode - Harness Knowledge

All strategy must be fact-based, but it can be more...’Blue Book’ syntheses help people look at data in a different way. They help the numbers tell a story and trigger fresh-thinking and deeper understanding.

Discover - Generate Insight

Insights propel new ideas; new ideas ignite growth. Cognosis’ highly interactive workshops get teams working together to discover new opportunities and new ways of thinking.

Design - Build Blueprint

A strategy must translate readily into a workable plan. Strategy maps draw together goals & resources, and make accountabilities clear & measurable for all stakeholders involved.

Deliver - Drive Execution

Most strategies fail at execution. ‘Green Book’ action-plans link strategy to deliverable results. Performance dashboards make progress clear and ‘Stop-and-Think’ sessions drive learning and continuous improvement.
