Data literacy is a key enabler of the value and impact from data. How are you approaching this within your organisation?
We have a federated approach to data and analytics: most data teams do not sit in my area, though my team acts as a central hub for best practice, and provides the core data technologies that we use across the LEGO Group. Our most advanced use cases are handled centrally in my team, through our Data Science Centre of Excellence. Our approach to data literacy has started with a programme to drive adoption of our new data platform, alongside our data governance framework. This has comprised a number of training programmes aimed at technical and non-technical audiences. We also promote knowledge-sharing around analytics, through the creation of communities-of-practices typically centred around specific business challenges. Our ambition is that we build data literacy and fluency into our overall career development framework, in partnership with our colleagues in HR. At the LEGO Group we have ambitious plans to reinvent the way we deliver learning and development to all of our colleagues, and the promotion of digital and data skills will become a core part of our initiative.
