BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cogito Corp., the leader in real-time emotional intelligence solutions, announced today that the U. S. Military Academy at West Point will utilize Cogito’s technology to analyze and improve the negotiation skills of cadets.
“We believe that the ability to effectively negotiate is a critical skill that will serve military personnel well in numerous situations over the course of their careers,” said Col. James Ness, Ph.D. Director: Engineering Psychology Program, West Point. “Cogito’s behavioral analytics technology will systematically analyze communication patterns within negotiating sessions and provide insight into the cadet’s psychological state. This technology will provide an unbiased assessment of how each cadet is being perceived by the other party. It will deliver insights into how they can modify their behavior to improve negotiation outcomes.”
