Cognitive Technologies was founded in 1987 by Dr. Karen McGraw to improve the success of technology and training projects
by applying expertise in how people think, work, and learn. Today, we are a solutions consulting firm that maximizes project
results by focusing on the intersection of people and technology. Our specialties include Microsoft consulting, project
management/support, and organizational improvement. We also provide customized training in these areas.
Our ideal client recognizes that people drive business performance and that delivering improvements requires more than
just a ‘magic bullet.’ In fact, our philosophy is this:
It’s not just about technology—the keys to success are well-crafted solutions and the ‘know-how’ to
implement them, effective project management, and training that yields desired outcomes.
