About Cogentus
Who We Are
Founded in 2008, Cogentus is a boutique consultancy which concentrates on data analytics. We help organisations to organize and analyze data into something that creates real added value.
Our name comes from the adjective co - gent (kojent) meaning "powerfully persuasive".
Our data analytics are designed to be powerfully persuasive yet work on a practical level for senior managers.
Our Values
We believe in:
- Delivering value to our Clients.
- Personal and Professional integrity.
- Continuous learning.
- Practical solutions.
- Working as a team.
Our Vision
We want to be recognized as the thought leaders in the field of data analytics.
What We Do
We collect, store, aggregate and analyze data. Most importantly we convert that analysis into value-creating action.
We help to improve an organisationÍs ability to do more work with less money at all levels:
- Strategy - develop revised strategies to plan for coming out of the recession.
- Programme Management - optimise capital expenditure programmes with reduced budgets.
- Project Management - select between competing projects or technologies to create a compelling investment appraisal.
What's Different
Stakeholder Perspectives - our data analytics is unique in that we can take into account stakeholder viewpoints. It is clear that different stakeholders value things differently and that trying to create a single data source that suits all is not going to work. In fact, it papers over a multitude of cracks. It is far better to accept those differences, see what effect it has and then manage those differences.
Strategic Alignment ? our data analytics are carried out such that it aligns with your organisation's mission and vision. This means you can always be sure of a good strategic fit whatever.
Value For Money ? our data analytics are all about demonstrating value for money arguments even where value is hard to measure.
Our Approach
We have a unique mix of academic expertise in strategy and decision science, robust reusable processes and our own analytical tools. These combine together, using facilitated process where necessary, to provide an extremely robust data analytics framework.
Our four stage process is a proven methodology for a systematic approach which is essential when dealing with decisions involving numerous stakeholders with alternative perspectives.
Our decision support software include Promax 2010 and Promax Efficiency which are leading edge analytical tools. They enables companies of all sizes to improve their decision making results in a cost effective manner, providing less risk and a quick return on investment for customers.
Global organisations across a range of industry sectors use our solutions to maximize project performance, optimize resource allocation, and improve their decision making processes.
How We Work
We understand that most of our data analytics will fall under the banner of "Business Improvement". You may already be doing something that seems similar or you may have identified a gap. We therefore always carry out a pilot study which is a very focussed and measurable project aimed at demonstrating that the improvement will, in fact, add economic value to the organisation.
