A client-facing LXD who co-creates Cognician activation programs of impact.
History and purpose Cognician is a multi-award-winning online learning company with offices in Cape Town, London and San Francisco. Our founding belief is that people are capable of great things when their behaviour is driven by powerful ideas and deeply felt emotions. Driven by this belief we bring together a unique approach to learning and a world-class tech platform to activate behaviour change in large, global organisations. What does that mean? It means we deliver significant, measurable behaviour change to our clients in 30 days or less.
Cognician was founded in 2010 by Barry and Patrick Kayton, who grew the company and platform out of their previous instructional design agency, Bright Sparks, founded in 1999. After being joined by Robert Stuttaford, CTO, and Michael Leeman, CFO, the core founding team went on to grow Cognician into a team of 60 strong, and the world's best-kept secret in corporate learning. And now we've had the good fortune of expanding our Leadership Team to include Colin Sloman, as our inaugural Chief Strategy Officer.
Our primary global partner and client is Accenture. Via Accenture and other partners, we have acquired an enviable list of Fortune 500 clients. Our aim remains to accelerate our growth through delivering activation programs of impact.
Industry Online corporate learning, operating at the intersection of learning and change management.
