In order to get really good at something, it’s important to keep asking the question, “How can I do better?” At Cogent, this comes up a lot. Not only at an individual level, also in the context of teams of people.
Multiple variables such as roles, work requirements, locations, business and client needs, impact how we work. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution and we needed to create a new, evolving framework that aligns with Cogent’s values. One that clearly defines the optimal balance of remote and distributed work, enabling the highest quality of work whilst protecting the health and well-being of Cogent, its people and our clients.
This is the second year we’ve published the Australia and New Zealand Product Teams Report, which pulls together findings from an industry-wide survey, insights from senior tech leaders, and recommendations based on our people’s own experience.
Welcome to the Cogent Crew series, where every month we’re inviting you to get to know a little more about the people at Cogent.

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which our offices stand and we pay our respects to elders past and present. We acknowledge the sorrow of the stolen generations and the impacts of colonisation on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We also recognise the resilience, strength and pride of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
We are inspired by Aboriginal and Torres Strait entrepreneurs, past and present.
