A practical introduction to Data Literacy and what it means for you.
Are you concerned about the level of data literacy in your team or organisation?
Do you find it difficult to understand and explain what value data literacy could bring to your organisation?
The first steps are always the most difficult in any journey and data literacy is no different.
Building data literacy among your teams and individuals is vital to improving the quality of the data, building more confidence in the data and making better, faster decisions based on that data.
There is a vast amount of material around data literacy, different definitions and perspectives on what it is and involves. Sometimes it is difficult to take practical steps towards understanding how data literate your organisation is, against the backdrop of other priorities. As well as that, often senior stakeholders don’t understand the issue and why it is important.
Data literacy means so many things to so many people and yet only you can really decide what it means to you and your organisation. To do that you need to understand the basics of the topic and how to apply them.
Why not join our What is Data Literacy and Why is it Important Course to get an overview and practical steps that you can take.
This 90 minutes course has been designed and is delivered jointly with one of my Senior Data Governance Coach Associates, Justin York.
Between us we have over 40 years’ experience of working with data. We understand the issues around data literacy and more importantly how that may affect other disciplines in the wider topic of data management.
The course consists of three modules with a total time of 90 minutes.
