Corporate Higher-Order Cognitive Processes

Tellusant’s focus is on streamlining corporate higher-order cognitive processes.

So what do we mean by higher-order cognitive processes?

The graph below shows the level of cognitive reasoning required for various processes. It is inspired by a discussion with business school professor and start up advisor with a PhD in psychology: Daniel Isenberg. We took his comments and designed this corporate process cognitive stack.

We give highest importance to cross-functional collaboration, evaluative thinking, and analytical integration (across knowledge domains). With this lens, processes like strategic planning or product development are orders of magnitude more complex than payroll processing or routine procurement.

We also show when automation started. Why 1965 as a starting point? One of our principals, as a teenager in the late 1960s, worked at the computerized procurement center of KF, a Swedish food distributor. There were IBM mainframes and the job was to stamp the punch cards that fed the machine. This had been going on for a few years, so it is reasonable to assume this automation was well underway in 1965.

Tellusant’s platform, called Telluplan, is aimed at streamlining (not replacing) the strategic planning process. This is a task for the 2020s and beyond.
