Leadership Consultancy & Cognitive Profiling for Executive Search
Cognadev partners with executive search and leadership consulting firms to deliver deeper, data-driven insights into how leaders think, decide, and perform under complexity. We bring a unique combination of leadership consultancy expertise and advanced cognitive assessment tools that help firms go beyond surface-level personality traits to truly understand leadership potential.
Talent Identification & Executive Assessment
Our cognitive assessments are designed specifically for high-stakes appointments. They measure real-time thinking processes, learning agility, and values alignment—offering objective insights that cannot be gamed or shaped by self-report. This allows executive search firms to differentiate their shortlists with greater precision and confidence, giving clients assurance that shortlisted candidates don’t just look the part—they can think the part too.
Leadership Development & Succession Planning
Cognadev supports firms in advising clients on leadership strategy, development, and succession. Our tools are grounded in systems thinking and track how individuals process complexity, manage ambiguity, and align with organisational values. This allows consultants to offer tailored development pathways and strategic leadership advice based on real behavioural data—rather than generic models.
Whether you're advising on board composition, CEO appointments, or future leadership pipelines, Cognadev helps elevate your offering with meaningful, multidimensional insight into human capability.
