How to champion data literacy and teach data as a second language to enable data-driven business. Imagine an organization where the marketing department speaks French, the product designers speak German, the analytics team speaks Spanish and no one speaks a second language. Even if the organization was designed with digital in mind, communicating business value and why specific technologies matter would be impossible. That’s essentially how a data-driven business functions when there is no data literacy. If no one outside the department understands what is being said, it doesn’t matter if data and analytics offers immense business value and is a required component of digital business. By 2020, 50% of organizations will lack sufficient AI and data literacy skills to achieve business value ... so how best to start in Data Literacy? This presentation will answer that.

WHAT: is Data Literacy
Commercial-in-Confidence

14. 14
Do you speak data?
Gartner defines data literacy as
the ability to read, write and
communicate data in context,
including an understanding of
data sources and constructs,
analytical methods and
techniques applied — and the
ability to describe the use case,
application and resulting value.
Commercial-in-Confidence

15. 15
Data Literacy is critical for Industry 4.0
To succeed in Industry 4.0
organisations must focus on
building a culture of data literacy
within their company.
Commercial-in-Confidence
Empowering data workers at all
levels of the organization,
regardless of technical acumen to
become data literate will ensure
success.
