FAQs About Aligning L&D With the Organization in Cognota

Setting objectives in Cognota enables you to establish clear and measurable L&D objectives and programs, serving as a foundational roadmap for your team. By setting these strategic goals upfront, you can ensure that every learning request and project undertaken is directly linked to and supports your overall L&D vision, fostering a more focused and impactful approach to learning and development within your organization.

Impact scoring is designed to assess and score each learning program based on its potential impact in relation to targeted goals and associated costs. This enables your team to make informed decisions about which learning initiatives to prioritize, focusing on those that promise the greatest benefits for learners and the organization, and ensuring the most efficient use of resources.

Learning strategy functionality ensures that every L&D task, no matter how tactical, is connected to your organization’s strategic objectives. This alignment ensures that all learning activities contribute to the broader corporate vision, providing clear visibility into how L&D efforts are directly supporting business success and keeping the team focused on high-priority initiatives.

When things change for the organization, L&D needs to change alongside it to gain and maintain a position as a strategic contributor. With the current tech stack used widely by L&D functions, a switch to a new operating model – federated, centralized, decentralized – is time consuming and costly. Within Cognota, you can set the operating model for your team and change it as needed, enabling you to stay far more agile in how you respond to business needs.
