This assessment examines the different facets of data literacy within an organisation and produces the results into an easily digestible document that lays out where data literacy weaknesses lie and how they can be addressed. Starting with a simple and quick survey on skills and attitudes, the modular solution ensures data skills between different teams and stakeholders become properly aligned.
Through easy-to-read bar charts, radar graphs and questionnaire insights, the DataIQ Data Literacy assessment can be shared across all teams and seniority levels to provide a comprehensive understanding of organisational data literacy.
“Data literacy is arguably the most pressing matter that faces businesses determined to become data-driven, particularly as a skills shortage continues to plague the industry,” said Peter Galdies, director, DataIQ. “Businesses need to deep-dive into their true data literacy abilities and examine where and how these skills can be improved for existing teams, new recruits and decision makers.”
Upon conclusion of the assessment, the following training programmes based on core modules will provide the skills needed to improve organisational data literacy:
- Understanding your data foundations.
- Creating a data-driven culture within your organisation.
- Building trust and an appreciation of your data assets.
- Developing stronger relationships with your business stakeholders.
- Enhancing data storytelling and presentation skills to inform decision-making.
- Data interpretation and translation between the data office and your business users.
- Understanding your data ecosystem – from production to consumption.
“To be able to understand and identify areas within a business across multiple teams where data literacy needs are lacking is an invaluable asset,” said Galdies. “Each team can have their data literacy skills catered to in a way that benefits their aspirations and targets specifically.”
There are many benefits to be found by examining the overall levels of data literacy by team. Previous users of the data literacy assessment have seen how different teams across a business can show vastly varied levels of literacy, even those with data-centric team members.
