In-House Data Literacy Briefings for Execs

Get up to speed with data literacy and what you need to know for your organisation

Do you feel you’re missing information about the practicalities of data literacy?

Is your organisation starting a digital transformation, AI or machine learning initiative? The term “data literacy” has been coming up in meetings - but you’re not sure what it means for you.

You’ve looked it up, of course. But there’s a wealth of information out there. And there doesn’t seem to be one single definition of what it is or what it involves. You’re feeling a bit bewildered.

Is it something you need to know about? How much do you need to know? And how data literate do people in your organisation need to be?

If only there was a trusted advisor you could ask, in confidence, about what you are working on and what data literacy means for you.

That’s why I deliver In-House Data Literacy Briefings for Execs. You get the key information you need and a safe space to ask questions in.

Do you know if you can rely on your data?

You use information to make decisions about what to do in your business all the time. Some of this is based on data. For example, your CFO takes care of the company finances and gives you key reports and benchmarking so you can make sound decisions. You know that they know what they are talking about - and you understand how to make sense of the information they give you.

But what about other types of data? Who needs to be taking care of those and analysing them? How do you make use of that information? How do you spot if there’s an issue?

That is where data literacy comes in. It’s an essential part of the success of initiatives in your organisation.

Being able to trust your data means being able to make decisions more quickly and with confidence.

Make sure you are up to speed on data literacy with a confidential online briefing. You will get the information you need to ask the right questions about data in your organisation.

Your data is valuable. It enables you to make key decisions with confidence. Having the right data, and ensuring it is good quality, is essential. Data literacy is a key part of that.
