WHAT IS CognitivBase™?

Think of a digital twin: a representation of a physical system that allows the system to be understood as a whole.

CognitivBase™ applies the idea of a twin to the organization itself.

It builds an Organizational Cognitive Twin: a living, explicit representation of the organization that brings together the primitives on which its cognition, decisions and actions depend.

Its structure. Its assets. Its capabilities. Its relationships. Its knowledge. Its context. Its horizons.

Not simply more information about the organization, but a coherent representation of the organization itself.

FROM FRAGMENTED INFORMATION TO ORGANIZATIONAL COGNITION

Most organizations already possess enormous amounts of information. The problem is that the information does not necessarily form a complete and coherent representation of the organization.

Some is documented. Some is distributed across systems. Some resides with individuals. Some is implicit. Some is missing. And some no longer faithfully represents what the organization has become.

CognitivBase™ makes the organization’s fundamental primitives explicit and connects them into a cognitive base that can be maintained and developed through time.

GROWTH & CONTINUITY

The principal purpose is not documentation.

It is to create Growth & Continuity momentum.

By making the organization more completely visible to itself, CognitivBase™ strengthens its ability to understand what it has, what it can do, what must continue, what must change, what is emerging and what can be developed next.

Growth and continuity cease to be separate concerns. The organization can develop what comes next while preserving and strengthening what makes continued development possible.

From fragmented understanding to a coherent basis for action.

WHAT CognitivBase™ ENABLES

A stronger representation of the organization creates capabilities that fragmented information cannot.

Better Strategy
Decisions can be made from a more complete picture of the organization, its capabilities, dependencies, environment and horizons.

Strategic Succession
Critical knowledge, judgment, relationships, capabilities and organizational intelligence can be identified and made explicit before leadership or ownership changes.

Augmented MD&A
Management can develop a richer representation of the organization, its environment, development and horizons than conventional financial reporting alone provides.

Augmented AI Delegation
AI can be given richer organizational context, explicit knowledge, relationships, logic and boundaries rather than being asked to operate from fragmented information.

Organizational Continuity
Knowledge and capabilities become properties of the organization rather than remaining dependent upon particular people, documents or disconnected systems.

COGNITION. CONTEXT. CONTROL

An organization can only understand, decide and act from what it knows about itself and its environment. When that knowledge is incomplete, implicit or fragmented, both human and artificial cognition operate from an incomplete picture.

CognitivBase™ strengthens three conditions on which better organizational cognition and action depend.

Cognition
Make the organization and its fundamental primitives explicit so they can be seen, understood and used as a coherent whole.

Context
Bring that cognition together into a shared organizational context from which humans and AI can understand, reason, decide and act.

Control
Use that greater cognition and context to increase the organization’s ability to deliberately direct its decisions, delegation, development and future.

Cognition creates Context. Context enables Control.

FROM COGNITIVE TWIN TO COGNITIVE INFRASTRUCTURE

CognitivBase™ begins by making the organization explicit.

Its ultimate form is a persistent and continuously maintainable cognitive infrastructure through which the organization’s Cognitive Twin can be preserved, developed and made available to both human and artificial cognition.

Your organization. Made explicit.
