Cognician Features

The best feature is how human it feels. We had only ever tested our content in live situations human to human. To have the chat space with real avatar, the conversational reflection points and the ability to personalise our content to suit each different demographic was invaluable to creating the product our customers wanted.

There were times when it would have been great for us to be able to roll up our sleeves and get our hands dirty by being in the software itself. For example, our pre programme questionnaire went live a year ahead of the rest of the programme and it would have been great for us - and Cognician - if we could have had more hands on analytical access to save time and reduce logistics on both sides. It is coming!

Our delivery of a new learning program has been very smooth and well received due to the efforts of the Cognician team. They have been excellent, timely support partners. We were able to easily set up SSO and our launches to our organization have been easy and stress-free. They have taken our feedback well and have implemented our suggestions. I cannot say enough good things about working with this team!

The reporting features (Manage/Strata) they have provided have been very helpful but there are some features that could be improved. It is relatively new, however, and I have given my feedback which has been very well received and changes may be implemented in future.

Sara, thanks for your review and feedback. What a privilege to work with you and share in the delight of seeing behavior change in action with your participants. We so look forward to building and growing our programs and reporting capabilities with you. Keep the feedback coming!

Cognician has created a truly interactive and effective online coaching platform. Users find it to be accessible, engaging and a really effective delivery platform for our Projecting Credibility and Confidence online training.

We found that we really needed to know our objectives and purpose. Outlining, organizing and wire framing our ideas before we built the program really saved us time.

Clean and very easy to use Great customisation Amazing support from the Cognician team Brilliant tool to engage people in reflection and learning Can be built in a relatively short time period

Hard to give any... But could say that there is room for more options when building the platform (which I'm sure will come)

We used this software as part of our onboarding experience for new hires so that everyday new employees got exposed to new ideas, experiences, administration of how the company works. Instead of that fire hose of information in an induction programme, it creates moments of exploration and reflection over 30 days so that it lengthens the onboarding experience and is more likely to lead to retention of information and embed new behaviours. The analytics we can derive from using the software can ensure we can target participation and iterate the programme as necessary. Working with the development team at Cognician was a good experience as well.

None of note - it is important to remember the upfront work that needs to be done by the business before translating it into the software as otherwise it will not give a good learning experience

The software is very intuitive and conversational. Learners are engaged in dialog with a virtual "coach" giving them opportunities to reflect and share insights on their learning. This engagement and reflection time naturally leads to the retention and durability of the learning.

There are no cons I can think of from an end-user perspective. There are probably some improvements that can be made in the administrative and reporting screens to allow clients to customize reports.

Interactive system with ease of use and large scale opportunities. Great team to partner with that is quick to respond, customize and advance thinking together.

Reporting is simplistic and could be refined

Very Well designed interactive learning approach. Modular Cogs which break up learning into easy weekly chunks. Simple coaching tools and aids. Great graphics and interface. Self-assessment opportunities.

Time needed to ensure sign in protocols were addressed.

The Cognician platform has a simple and clear UX that is easy for employees to use and for employers to customize. It provides meta data with dashboards and reporting for employee views and for leader views. The Cognician team is very easy to work with (rep is thoughtful and responds with urgency to requests).

Not sure if Cognician has a mobile capability but would suggest that they move in this direction if they don't have one. A lot of the platform has to be customized to the organization which might be deterrent as it isn't fully "out of the box"

the ease of use, topics covered, all new joiners felt set up within the organisation within their first 6 weeks
