DATA LITERACY
What’s your thoughts!
Definition
Literacy can be defined as
the ability to derive
information from written
words.
Data Literacy can be defined
as the ability to derive
meaningful information from
data and argue with data.
Let's broaden the above
definition and really
understand what data
literacy is!
Are you as curious as George!
 Reading and Understanding (Ask Questions)
Is it relevant ? Is it correct?
Should we go with the face value?
 Writing and Discovery (Look at data &
produce solutions)
More brains looking at data more varied solutions
 Curiosity and CriticalThinking (Critical Eye
towards the answer provided for the
question asked)
 Inclination towards asking questions,
 What question to ask,
 Critical eye towards the answer provided and
its usefulness
Do you trust your data ?
Data Literacy is the ability to
question if my data is accurate.
Data Literacy is the ability to
question if my data is useful.
Do you trust what you see ?
Data Literacy is the ability to
understand how aggregations
were calculated.
Data Literacy is the ability to
understand basic statistics.
Do you trust what you create ?
Data Literacy is the ability to use
facts to communicate complex
ideas - without misleading the
audience.
Data Literacy is the ability to use
all the facts, including missing
data.
Skills & Traits
Data Literate Person
SKILLS
Human Touch
The Difference
Shift from
the ability to make it
happen -> to the ability
to decide what to make
it happen.
It’s a Top-Down Change
The data literacy
initiative needs to start
from the top of the
corporate chain, for
impact and boarder
coverage of its
importance and
understanding.
Educational programs
are needed for data
literacy to drive the
change.
Challenges
 Dismiss data because they are
unable to comprehend it
 Cultural challenge
 Complexity (human thinking)
 No common language
Data – A Common Language
 New language we all
need to be fluent in.
 Data is a language that
anyone can learn to read
and speak.
 Start seeing data as the
beginning of the
conversation, not the
end.
 Engaging thoughtful
dialogue.
 Seeing data and deciding
what’s next !
Where to Start ?
Be Curious Be Creative
Few Thoughts...
Data literacy isn't just about
visualizing charts or
understanding charts
Its much broader than that
..how we think about data that
is necessary,
then its all about people and
not about technology or data
science, it is how we uncover
the curiosity and ability to ask
the required questions
Must Watch
