Using a Learning Operations platform like Cognota is a great first-step in improving your processes and workflows internally. However, we’ve realized that in this emerging space there is more Cognota could do to provide world-class educational opportunities alongside our platform.
Our first cohort of learners is set to begin the program on September 9th and we wanted to share some of the practical topics they’ll be covering.
We’re excited to have Dr. Martha Soehren as an instructor in the program, speaking on the topics of Align Learning to Corporate Objectives.

- Create a habit to stay on top of the business of your company – and explain why it’s important to better align training to the business.
