Hosted by Jeff Walter, Founder and CEO of LatitudeLearning, this show goes beyond instructional design and course development. It examines the architecture required to build disciplined, high-performing channel networks. Most business leaders invest heavily in sales, marketing, and product innovation. Far fewer treat training as performance infrastructure. This podcast bridges that gap. Through executive conversations, strategic frameworks, and real-world case studies, we explore: How learning systems evolve from content libraries to measurable performance engines
