ARCELOR MITTAL SA HR Practitioner“As an executive coach and management consultant in the area of strategy, leadership and talent management, I have been using the CPP for the past two decades and find it profoundly valuable in understanding and predicting performance and capability in work environments characterised by different complexity and competency requirements. As a standalone or part of an assessment package it adds powerful insights as no other tool in the cognition and strategic thinking space”
ASPIRALL AUSTRALIA Tanya Diesel, Founder and CEO"We have been using the CPP for a number of years and find the results most valuable to inform our talent management decisions. The CPP is probably the best kept secret in psychometric assessment."

DENEL DYNAMICS Manager: People Development"The Cognadev assessment tools are online, competitively priced, simple to use, have practical utility and reveal critical information about a person’s preferences, skills and perceptions; what motivates them and where they are most likely to make a significant contribution. We use the Cognadev tools globally for the selection, placement and development of our top executives."
HOLCIM Claudio Nagib Calcada, Manager"The CCM helps my clients to match their human capability to the role requirements in terms of its level of complexity, to include derailers of a position. It turns job-person matching into a much more scientific and objective process. An added feature is the mapping out and organizing of positions with suitable candidates to execute on strategy. It’s really a great tool to manage talent with organizational design and effectiveness."
HUMAN CAPITAL SOULTIONS INC. Canada, Roche Herbst, M.A."I would happily endorse the CPP in particular... there is nothing like it in the marketplace and I can completely see its value. I can recommend it in the highest possible terms. Similarly the values profile I found to be excellent"
LONDON BUSINESS SCHOOL Prof. Randall Peterson, Professor of Organisational Behaviour, Chair, Organisational Behaviour Faculty"At the Lund School, we have conducted exploratory studies and found significant correlations between processing skills as measured by the Cognitive Process Profile (CPP) and strategic capacity as measured by interview and questionnaire assessment methodologies. We are therefore optimistic about the potential of the CPP as the missing link in talent identification and intellectual capital management."
LUND UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS AND MANAGEMENT Stein Kleppestø, Associate Professor, Sweden“I have used many different kinds of evaluations for the purposes of executive assessment and development over the years, and have found the CPP to be the most valuable source in predicting the strategic effectiveness of business leaders”

NEDBANK Head Talent Management & Assessments“Having used the Cognitive Process Profile (CPP) in three multinational corporates, I find it to be an invaluable assessment tool for talent management purposes, particularly for the identification of potential across all levels of the organisation as well as for executive selection, placement and development.
