If L&D Isn't Doing Business Performance, What Is It Doing? with Eileen Cooke

If Learning and Development (L&D) isn't driving business performance, it's not having enough impact. In this must-watch episode, Eileen (MacDonald) Cooke, former Chief Learning Officer (CLO) at ‪@amtrak‬, in conversation with Nolan Hout, Senior Vice President of Growth at ‪@InfoproLearningInc‬, shares how L&D Leaders can elevate L&D business performance by embedding a performance-first mindset in every learning and development initiative. Drawing from decades of experience leading enterprise L&D strategy, she outlines how to connect L&D programs directly to performance metrics, sales outcomes, operational efficiency, and workforce productivity. This discussion dives deep into how learning and development teams can leverage AI, performance data, and targeted enablement tools to strengthen business performance in real time. For L&D leaders focused on proving ROI, increasing executive alignment, and modernizing learning and development strategy, this episode is a practical blueprint for building sustainable L&D business performance. Takeaways 1. No one keeps a job because of what they know; performance is what truly matters. 2. L&D must align learning initiatives directly with business KPIs and operational dashboards. 3. Skills alone are insufficient without application, reinforcement, and measurable impact. 4. Instructional designers should create performance enablement experiences, not just workshops. 5. Embedding measurement into learning design is essential for business credibility. 6. Early adopters within L&D teams help accelerate a performance-first culture shift. 7. AI enables faster, more targeted, and performance-driven learning interventions. 8. Designing for reinforcement and follow-up nudges combats the natural forgetting curve. 9. The future of L&D is building a culture of performance, not just a culture of learning.
