Professionals who think for a living are challenged to arrive at informed decisions, bring stakeholders on the same page as well as monitor and control uncertainties.
We built a cognitive performance system, from the ground up, for the intellectual side of business. Our system, named Socrates, includes knowledge domains for the cognitive roles in business. Socrates enables professionals to engineer and manage outcomes. Socrates creates a cognitive partnership between the strength of your mind and the power of computing. For you to do your best cognitive work all the time in your area of expertise.
In the process of decision making, professionals are unable to experience future implications and opportunities. Without a clear understanding of the impact, it’s challenging to arrive at planned outcomes.
Socrates enables you to make risk-reward tradeoffs with foresight and engineer outcomes.
As you communicate your objectives and assign thinking responsibilities, your team, your advisors and your suppliers struggle to connect to your thinking. As a result, your needs and their execution take different paths, which impacts performance. You are challenged to close the gap in a systematic way.
Socrates enables you to embed your criteria into the thinking processes of your teams. No longer do you have to repeatedly voice your expectations. With Socrates, your teams visualize your objectives in context to their thinking. This closes the chasm between execution and outcomes.
People struggle to understand each other. As they listen, they construct their own mental models, which commonly doesn’t match yours. This results in conflict before, during and after communications.
With Socrates, you utilize a uniform mental model to bridge stakeholder perspectives about a situation. You demonstrate your progression of thinking with logic and evidence. Through Socrates, you address stakeholder concerns in real time. Socrates is an unbiased, cognitive resource for stakeholder communications. Which helps all stakeholders park their personal biases, build confidence and arrive at a shared understanding.
We don’t know how our decisions impact the future. And we can’t manage what we can’t see. Conditions are always changing which creates uncertainty and instability.
Socrates is designed to simulate changing conditions. Through Socrates, your teams and you engage in deeper thinking. Where you resolve risk-reward tradeoffs in context to future change. Which helps them increase their control over factors outside their areas of responsibility. Socrates helps you build your anticipatory skills to manage change more effectively.
In today’s data-driven world, people struggle to frame situations and synthesize interdependencies. These limitations impact reasoning and judgment. False positives and false negatives enter rationale which impact outcomes.
Socrates frames the context of your situations. It also synthesizes interdependent information for decision making. Socrates is designed to challenge your thinking in real time as you work through constraints to achieve the desired outcomes. With Socrates, you strengthen reasoning and judgment.
