An event generates enthusiasm. A journey generates a method.
A cognitive-empowerment path for leadership teams: profiling, workshop, plan with HR and individual coaching on real decisions, built on the AI Thinking Quadrants.
Four phases, one method.
Profiling
Cognitive Profiling with DEXISION Readiness 3D: read the person before the technology. Around thirty minutes per manager, a short questionnaire plus eight work situations with AI output. Ten minutes measure what a leader claims; thirty measure what they do.
Workshop
Speech and reveal of the Cognitive Map. Laboratories on the three cognitive levels (automation, AI-powered analysis, critical thinking), in groups composed by profile.
Plan with HR
The mapping is shared and objectives are defined for the next steps.
Individual coaching
Two one-to-one sessions for each manager, working on their real decisions with DEXISION Posture Lab.
Without phase one, the day is an event. With phase one, it becomes a method.
Reading the person before the technology.
The Cognitive Map is the aggregated, anonymous photograph of how a leadership team thinks: cognitive gravities, over-used postures, postures that are almost absent. It is not a psychological assessment, and not a measure of job performance. It does include a task performance measure, narrowed to one thing: how a leader handles AI output that contains a flaw.
| Profile | Distinctive trait | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The Rigorous | Rigour that drives. | Checks everything, trusts data over instinct. |
| The Rapid Explorer | Instinct that explores. | Adopts and decides fast, checks little. |
| The Ambidextrous | Data and instinct together. | Uses both levers; discipline decides whether that is an advantage or a dispersion. |
| The Instinctive | Decides from the gut. | Trusts first impressions, verifies little. |
| The Guardian | Rigour that protects. | Prudent and thorough, adopts little but verifies a lot. |
Archetypes describe disposition: how a leader sees themselves. Whether that rigour actually discriminates is something only the behavioural scenarios can tell: the two readings can diverge, and that is where the readback starts.

In Italy the method reaches managers through CFMT, where Giovanni Giamminola is faculty for masterclasses and courses on AI and management. The next course →
Bring it to your leadership team
The journey is designed for executive and leadership teams, together with HR. It begins with the Cognitive Profiling and ends with coaching on real decisions.
