Many organizations know they need to up their data capacities, but rely on delegating or hiring away the problem. They may propose a talented professional like Gary in accounting set up a workshop or clinic to help co-workers, when Gary is not in the business of data education strategy and doesn't have the time anyway. This instinct is similar to the one to hire a team of advanced data scientists and have *them* figure out the problems of data strategy and culture. These personnel shortcuts won't work. It takes a ground-up, systematic approach to build data capacities, assisted by someone who specializes in this strategy.

1. Why Gary in
Accounting can’t
build your data
academy

2. Taking shortcuts to the data
academy

3. Data tacticians aren’t necessarily the
best data strategists
• Gary in Accounting may know nothing of
instructional design, video editing, using images and
datasets without getting sued, etc…
• It’s an auxiliary skillset

4. You can’t delegate or hire the
problem away
• You can’t delegate your up-skilling as side projects
for your best and brightest
• You can’t hire a team of PhD data scientists and
expect the problem to go away
• It takes a ground-up, systematic approach to build
data capacities, from someone who specializes in
this strategy
