How the Quest Works

The Agile Leadership Quest is a chat-based, coaching-like experience that drives meaningful conversations, powerful ideas, and "a-ha!" moments around innovation. This approach enables the rapid, lasting adoption of agile leadership behaviors in your organization. We do this by:

Action Learning (icon representing action)

Activity

Completions indicate that users have awareness and understanding of a topic.

Email follow through and reminders (email icon)

Follow-Through

Positive activation checks show that users have followed through and taken specific actions.

Reflection

Insights demonstrate that users have reflected on their experiences in a way that reinforces the desired mindsets.

Social Engagement

'Likes' and comments tell us that a user's insights are positively impacting others in the group and are initiating social learning.

The Challenges

Developing organizational agility starts with the leadership team. A study by the Project Management Institute and Forbes Insights found that 92% percent of C-level executives believe organizational agility is critical to business success. Yet only 27% consider themselves highly agile. Our Agile Leadership Quest activates leaders to foster an agile environment for their teams through empowering, engaging with, and nurturing employees. The 10 challenges encourage participants to take concrete actions that enable them to reach new heights with their teams.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes. Our quests drive the adoption of new behaviors and habits, and the best way to do this is by giving people the opportunity to practice and repeat.

    We do this in the form of a 10-day Quest. Each day, for the duration of the Quest, a participant accepts a bite-sized challenge. The challenge will introduce an offline activity to complete between online sessions. Once complete, a user will then come back and reflect on the experience of trying new behaviors. Reflecting on our experiences drives behavior change in a short time.

  • Designated administrators will have access to the "Manage" section of Cognician, which is our reporting dashboard.

    The "Manage" section gives administrators a collection of helpful information about participants and their activities on the platform. For example, every time someone uses a cog (short for "coaching guide", which is what we call a learning module at Cognician), the system logs their actions so that administrators can view the learner’s journey, how many cogs have been completed, and where the team seems to be struggling.

    Administrators can monitor general participant progress and export CSV documents that contain cog completion data and even the insights shared by the users.

  • Yes. We have a variety of Quests available, tailored to help you activate behavior change when it matters.
