Next Best Actions for Managers

Cognexo works best when two things happen consistently:

  1. Colleagues answer their daily questions, and

  2. Managers review the data and take action.

This guide shows you exactly what to do when you log into the Cognexo Intelligence Portal — and gives you templates you can copy and send to your team or peers.

You don’t need to analyse everything.
Spot the pattern → take one action → move on.

 

Scenario 1: Low engagement (people not answering questions)

What you’ll see in Cognexo

  • Low answer rates

  • Question backlogs building

  • Certain individuals or whole teams disengaged

What this usually means

  • Cognexo hasn’t been clearly prioritised by the manager

  • No shared routine has been set

  • People don’t understand why it matters

✅ Next Best Action

Set a clear expectation and a simple routine.

Team email / message template

Hi team,

Quick reminder that when Cognexo questions arrive (via email or Teams),
please answer them the same day. It takes about 2 minutes.

Why this matters:
• It helps us catch confusion early
• It reduces repeat mistakes and rework
• It allows me to support you properly, based on evidence not guesswork

Let’s make it a before-lunch habit so it stays easy and doesn’t build up.

If you’re not receiving questions, tell me today and I’ll fix it.

Thanks,
XXX

 

 

Scenario 2: Good engagement, but repeat failures on the same topic

What you’ll see

  • Questions are being answered

  • The same concept is answered incorrectly multiple times

  • No improvement over time

What this usually means

  • The content or guidance is unclear, or

  • The real-world process doesn’t match what’s written

✅ Next Best Action

Address the topic, not the individuals.

Team meeting / follow-up message template

Hi team,

Cognexo is showing us some consistent confusion around [topic].
That’s useful feedback, not a problem.

Let me clarify the correct approach:
[brief explanation]

If anything still feels unclear, please say — that tells us where we need
better guidance, not who’s “getting it wrong”.

Thanks,
XXX

 

 

Scenario 3: One or two individuals struggling while others are fine

What you’ll see

  • Most of the team progressing well

  • One or two users repeatedly incorrect or low confidence

What this usually means

  • Targeted coaching is needed

  • The individual may not feel comfortable raising it themselves

✅ Next Best Action

Have a short, evidence-based coaching conversation.

1:1 conversation structure (script)

I’ve been looking at Cognexo and it’s showing a few areas where things
aren’t quite landing yet.

That’s helpful — it tells me where to support you.
Let’s walk through [topic] together and see what would help most.

 

 

Scenario 4: Engagement or accuracy drops after a change

What you’ll see

  • Sudden dip in confidence or accuracy

  • Spike in incorrect answers after a specific date

What this usually means

  • The change hasn’t fully landed

  • People are unsure which version is correct

✅ Next Best Action

Re-anchor the change clearly and quickly.

Team message template

Hi team,

Cognexo is showing that the recent change to [process/product] hasn’t fully
landed yet — which is completely normal.

Here’s the correct approach we’re using going forward:
[clear explanation]

Keep answering your Cognexo questions — they help us spot where we need to
tighten guidance so everyone stays aligned.

Thanks,
XXX

 

 

Scenario 5: High engagement and high accuracy (everything looks green)

What you’ll see

  • Strong answer rates

  • Improving or consistently high accuracy

  • Stable confidence over time

What this usually means

  • The team is aligned and confident

  • This is evidence of readiness

✅ Next Best Action

Do nothing — and recognise it.

Recognition message template

Hi team,

Just a quick call-out — Cognexo is showing strong confidence and consistency
across the team right now.

This tells us the approach is landing well. Keep doing what you’re doing.

Thanks,
XXX

 


Reminder for managers

When you log into Cognexo, ask yourself just three questions:

  1. Where is engagement dropping?

  2. Where are people repeatedly struggling?

  3. What is the one action I’ll take this week?

Answer those, take one action, and you’re done.
