Data literacy is a key enabler of the value and impact from data. How are you approaching this within your organisation?
As part of the global leadership team, I am a champion of data literacy, promoting it both bottom-up and top-down. I believe that data literacy is essential for businesses to thrive in today’s data-driven world. My team has transformed from a data, analytics, and dashboard focused team to a team that works alongside a panel of expert insight professionals to ensure that we deliver only the “so what” answers to the business. This means that we focus on providing actionable insights that help businesses make better decisions.
As well as analytics, the group team for capabilities for marketing and commercial sits in my team. This is key as it allows us to embed what we deliver into peoples’ roles through training and hands on learning.
Bottom-up, I promote data literacy by providing my team as well as other process units with the resources and support they need to develop their data skills. I also encourage them to share their knowledge with others and to collaborate with other teams across the business.
I believe that data literacy is essential for businesses to succeed in today’s data-driven world. By promoting data literacy both bottom-up and top-down, I am helping my company to build a data-driven culture that will enable us to make better decisions and achieve our business goals.
