Data literacy is a key enabler of the value and impact from data. How are you approaching this within your organization?
As CDAOs, we must lead by example, emphasizing data’s importance in decision-making, encouraging data sharing, and setting data-related goals. To drive transformational change and fully harness the value of data and analytics, integrate these capabilities into the responsibilities of every team member, rather than confining them to a select group of technical practitioners.
At Best Buy, we actively prioritize the facilitation of data-driven decision-making by infusing analytics into our daily business operations. We align our analytical efforts with pertinent business queries, ensuring that data and analytics actively drive measurable business outcomes. We have made significant strides in fortifying our data infrastructure, with a clear focus on tackling our most critical analytics use cases from the outset.
We are implementing data training and education programs, offering user-friendly data access and visualization tools, and fostering a data-driven culture within the organization. Training initiatives provide employees with essential data skills, while accessible tools simplify data exploration.
