Cognitive Skills Training

“Action without thought is empty. Thought without action is blind.”

The Importance of Cognitive Skills

Cognitive skills refer to ‘multiple mental abilities, including learning, thinking, reasoning, remembering, problem solving, decision making, and attention.’

"Employers estimate that 44% of workers’ skills will be disrupted in the next five years. Cognitive skills are reported to be growing in importance most quickly, reflecting the increasing importance of complex problem-solving in the workplace." (WEF Future of Jobs 2023)

Cognitive Skills Affect Business Outcomes

In business, stronger cognitive skills translate directly into stronger outcomes.

Research consistently shows that cognitive skills are positively correlated with better leadership and improved employee performance. It also shows a strong positive correlation between cognitive skills training and employee retention. Further, cognitive skills have been shown to be linked to greater adaptability, better innovation and improved financial performance.

Cognitive Skills Can Be Trained

Cognitive skills are not innate. They can be learned and refined through targeted practice and training. With the right approach, individuals and teams can strengthen these skills to improve their effectiveness and drive better outcomes in their professional environments.

"Skills enable people. They are capacities to function. Skills give agency to people to shape their lives, to create new skills and to flourish." (Kautz et al., 2014)
