TORONTO, ON and SANTA MONICA, Calif. — March 2, 2026 — Cornerstone OnDemand Inc., a leader in workforce agility solutions, today announced an expanded partnership with learning operations platform and long-standing partner, Cognota. Building on an established referral partnership, this reseller agreement allows Cornerstone to offer Cognota as part of its broader ecosystem, accelerating time-to-value for global enterprises.

Cornerstone Galaxy™, an AI-powered all-in-one talent management platform, powers how learning is delivered and experienced, while Cognota complements this by bringing operational structure to how learning is planned and governed. Together, they unlock both sides of operational excellence for talent and learning development leaders and their teams. For Cornerstone Galaxy customers, Cognota adds the operational layer that turns this visibility into action, bringing structure to planning and budgeting, consistency to execution, and confidence in how learning investments are tracked and evaluated.

“Our platform data shows that L&D and talent teams are under pressure to do more and to prove business impact,” Ryan Austin, CEO & Founder, Cognota. “The shift from ad hoc learning operations to a disciplined LearnOps model provides clear prioritization, resource allocation, and improved budget control and forecast accuracy that L&D teams desperately need to make – and prove – their impact.”

“Through this industry-first formal partnership with Cognota, we’re furthering operational excellence for Cornerstone enterprise customers,” said Adam Sherman, VP, Sales & Growth Strategy at Cornerstone. “We’re excited to expand the partnership and continue helping organizations gain stronger executive confidence in their L&D investment decisions.”
