Making Better Decisions
Cognicity is the brainchild of internationally regarded academic and industry experts, developed over years facilitating training in major corporations across numerous industries with the Centre for Ethical Leadership.
We are theory and practice in equilibrium; grounded in science and driven by our commitment to empowering individuals and organisations to make better decisions. It is these kinds of decisions that ultimately make for more effective, inclusive and successful leaders.
Our approach is simple: we take what we know from our own independent research and make it known to you in a way that is clear and instantly applicable to your needs. We harness the power of narrative through authentic case-studies to lead you to your own learnings, equipping you with the knowledge and skills to champion positive change - personally and professionally.
We know it works, we know why it works, and now you can make it work for you.

Uncovering Your Unconscious Knowledge
Cognicity Labs is home to our specialised suite of research tools designed to help you gain a greater understanding of your mind. With a series of unparalleled resources Labs ensures our science is beneficial for you.
The more we can reveal about the preferences and associations our unconscious knowledge informs, the closer you can become to recognising the unconscious bias that can manifest in your decision making. This way you’ll be better equipped to identify unconscious bias at play and minimise its impacts, for you and your organisation.
Consider Labs the crystallisation of years of research and practical experience to deliver just that.
The Unconscious Knowledge Assessment
The flagship in our suite of resources is one that is changing the way we understand our own minds. Through a short series of targeted association tasks you’ll gain meaningful insights into your individual unconscious knowledge, allowing potential sources of unconscious bias to be revealed. Immediately available in a neat takeaway report, the results are as easy to understand as they are to implement in everyday life.
Research verified
The Unconscious Knowledge Assessment is a Go/No Go Association Task (GNAT; Nosek & Banaji, 2001) specifically designed and proven to measure the strengths of our unconscious associations.
