Cognota, the global leader in learning operations, has been featured in an exclusive briefing by Brandon Hall, a leading analyst firm in talent and learning development. The report, The Rise of LearnOps: How Cognota is Redefining Learning & Development, highlights how Cognota is pioneering the LearnOps category and revolutionizing the way Learning and Development (L&D) teams operate.

The Brandon Hall report emphasizes how LearnOps is transforming learning functions by streamlining workflows, integrating systems, and enabling data-driven decision-making. Cognota’s LearnOps platform empowers L&D leaders to align their initiatives with broader business goals, improving efficiency, increasing ROI, and driving strategic growth.

"This recognition by Brandon Hall reinforces our commitment to helping organizations elevate their learning operations," said Ryan Austin, Founder and CEO of Cognota. "Our LearnOps platform is designed to solve the operational challenges that Talent and Learning & Development teams face daily, turning learning into a business driver."

This news follows the recent unveiling of Cognota’s Learning Operations Maturity Model, a comprehensive framework that will more formally be introduced at the LearnOps Virtual Summit 2024, designed to help organizations assess and elevate their learning operations. The Maturity Model, as previously announced in Learning News, outlines the key stages of operational efficiency for L&D teams, guiding them from reactive processes to fully integrated, predictive operations.

Training Journal has also recognized the significance of the LearnOps Maturity Model, highlighting its role in helping businesses master operational excellence in learning and development. The model not only provides a roadmap for operational improvement but also aligns L&D strategies with measurable business outcomes.

In the recent “Now, Near, Next webinar,” Cognota's CEO Ryan Austin discussed the Learning Operations Maturity Model with 360 Learning’s Chief Learning Officer, David James, and Starbucks’ Brandon Carson, providing insights on how organizations can create learning roadmaps that drive measurable impact in a phased approach.

As part of this innovation, Cognota has also rolled out the Cognota Assist Program, offering organizations tailored support in progressing through the stages of the LearnOps Maturity Model. This program, along with the LearnOps platform, is transforming how businesses approach L&D, enabling faster pivots, smarter investments, and more confident execution.

The LearnOps category is gaining momentum, with more organizations recognizing the need to optimize their learning operations. With Cognota at the forefront of this transformation, L&D teams worldwide are empowered to operate with greater agility, efficiency, and impact.
