We’re proud to announce that Cognitive Talent Solutions has been named the Best Innovative or Emerging Tech Solution in Talent Analytics at the 2025 HR Tech Awards, presented by Lighthouse Research & Advisory!
This recognition reinforces our commitment to shaping a network-first future of work, where Organizational Network Analysis (ONA) empowers leaders to truly understand how people connect, collaborate, and create value.
Why It Matters
Traditional HR systems often fail to capture the real dynamics of how work gets done. Cognitive Talent Solutions is changing that by putting networks—not org charts—at the center of organizational understanding.
As Ben Eubanks, Chief Research Officer at Lighthouse Research & Advisory, shared:
“Our judges were pleasantly surprised by the organizational network analysis features Cognitive Talent Solutions has to offer. By combining both active and passive ONA—plus embedded generative AI and predictive analytics—it enables leaders to identify influencers, improve onboarding, and support inclusion efforts with data-backed clarity. A differentiated solution for organizations ready to move beyond org charts and embrace network-first decision-making.”
This recognition validates not only our technology, but also our core belief that organizations are living networks—constantly evolving, shaped by relationships, not just roles.

Our Vision: Network-First Workplaces
At CTS, we’re pioneering the use of both active ONA (via surveys) and passive ONA (via metadata), combined with generative AI and predictive analytics. This integrated approach allows organizations to:
- Discover informal leaders and hidden influencers
- Accelerate onboarding through intelligent pairing
- Promote inclusion by mapping real collaboration patterns
- Optimize change management and talent development strategies
- Visualize networks to drive evidence-based decisions at scale
We're not just building tools — we’re enabling a new way of leading.
Looking Ahead
With our self-service ONA platform now live, ServiceNow and Google integrations in place, and our consultant certification program expanding globally, we’re scaling fast — but staying true to our core: Empowering organizations to understand and strengthen the networks that power them.
If you're ready to move beyond hierarchy and embrace network-first decision-making, let’s connect.
Together, we can build the future of work — one network at a time.
