Cognexo In the Press

When Dan Buckley joined as CEO, a deeper realisation took shape: organisations didn't just struggle with learning — they struggled to understand whether people could actually perform in their day-to-day roles. This meant understanding behaviour, sentiment and wellbeing and adapting quickly. This insight changed everything.

Cognito Learning evolved into Cognexo — a platform designed not just to reinforce knowledge, but to build micro-habits that change daily behaviour. The focus shifted from 'do people remember this?' to 'can people deliver what the business needs?'

A key chapter in this evolution was the partnership with Zenith, another Yorkshire-based business. What began as a client relationship quickly became a genuine collaboration. Zenith's challenges sharpened Cognexo's thinking and their belief in the platform gave confidence to push further. Zenith didn't just use Cognexo — they influenced it.

That partnership introduced Tim Buchan, then CEO of Zenith, who moved from client to investor to Chairman, backing the business with both capital and experience.

Today, Cognexo supports organisations operating across multiple time zones and languages. Strategic partnerships have been built with Fortune 500 companies including Workday and ADP, contributing behavioural insight into these industry-leading technologies. Shortlisted in the Innovation category at the Yorkshire Business Awards.

"Yorkshire has a long tradition of building businesses that last. We like to think Cognexo fits that mould."
