Cognisco, founded in 1998 and headquartered in Cranfield, is a specialist in workforce competency management. For over 25 years we have helped organisations operating in complex and highly regulated environments to understand, evidence and improve the capability of their people.
Know your workforce.
Trust their decisions.
Our mission is to help organisations understand not just what their people know, but how confidently and consistently they apply their skills and behaviours in real-world situations. With over two decades of insight and innovation, we partner with organisations operating in high-risk, highly regulated environments to support safer, more efficient and more accountable workforces.
Our platform: MyKnow 365
MyKnow 365 delivers evidence-based, diagnostic-led insights into workforce capability, confidence and behaviour. The platform provides leaders with a clear and measurable view of workforce readiness—across roles, teams, and supply chains—so they can reduce risk, assure compliance and drive performance with confidence.
