SOLUTIONS

Organisational Culture & Team Development

Using the VO and the CCM 360 degree amongst other assessments, we assist companies to determine the organisational and team culture to inform talent management initiatives aimed at managing values, diversity and inclusion as well as to optimise team compilation.

Leadership Identification, Development and Succession

We provide assessments of leadership potential using different batteries for strategic and operational roles, conduct people-job matching, create people development initiatives, and help reinforce leadership behaviour in terms of organisational values.

Performance Evaluation and Appraisals

The organisation needs to understand its structure, people requirements and the available talent; we help in this process by initially conducting discussions with line managers and mentors, and then deploying and analyzing the data from our Contextualised Competency Mapping 360-degree customised performance appraisal questionnaire.

Intellectual Capital Management & Learning Agility

Using the Cognitive Process Profile (CPP), the Learning Orientation Index (LOI) and the Contextualized Competency Mapping (CCM) tools and a suitable work complexity model, the current and potential cognitive capability of people can be determined to identify “High Potentials” and to inform talent management through selection, placement, development and succession.

Competency Analysis & Job- and Organisational Structuring

Using the Contextualised Competency Mapping (CCM) tool, we consult with the executive regarding more appropriate divisional structures, roles, economies of scale, integration of competing functions, and analytics to ultimately optimise person-job matching and therefore employee engagement.

Talent Management and Peple Analytics

We specialize in assisting clients with managerial and HR issues that arise during Talent Management processes. In addition, we can advise and create innovative computational solutions for workforce and predictive analytics using a variety of machine-learning and actuarial methodologies.

Cognadev has developed dynamic, valid, online psychological assessments for the purposes of talent management, leadership development, recruitment and selection.
