Cognitive diversity is a decisive investment capability

The Cognitive Diversity Scorecard™ helps asset management teams understand, manage, and apply cognitive diversity to improve decision quality and long-term performance

Investment outcomes are shaped by how teams think together

> Complex markets reward outlier insights, not consensus

> Groupthink, authority bias, and shared blind spots distort judgement

> Teams often appear diverse while thinking in highly correlated ways

> Traditional tools fail to reveal these hidden risks

What the evidence shows

Professor Alex Edmans’ 2025 study for The Diversity Project showed that success depends on factors such as...

> Generating and evaluating outlier ideas

> Integrating diverse information sources

> Avoiding groupthink in high-stakes decisions

Cognitive diversity does not equal demographic diversity — and is not personality testing either

Cognitive diversity is the range of expertise, experiences, perspectives, and ways of thinking that shape how investment decisions are made

> It exists at the team level, not the individual level

> It must be curated, not simply maximised

> Without oversight, it can increase friction or dilute investment identity

A PRACTICAL WAY TO ASSESS AND MANAGE COGNITIVE DIVERSITY

The Cognitive Diversity Scorecard™ provides an evidence-based view of how cognitive diversity is distributed, expressed, and applied within investment teams

> Designed specifically for asset management

> Built on proven DOT Scorecard® foundations

> Focused on decision quality, not labeling individuals

Cognitive Diversity Scorecard™ - Available Globally in March 2026
