Data literacy is a key enabler of the value and impact from data. How are you approaching this within your organisation?
Data literacy is one of the essential power skills that have been identified for all our people and is a core part of our digital transformation and data culture within Diageo. To support this, we are implementing the following initiatives to improve data literacy across the organisation:
- We are rolling out a number of capability development programmes with tailored learning journeys, online courses and workshops on data fundamentals, data security and ethics, data analysis, data visualisation, and data storytelling;
- The creation of a data literacy framework that defines the core competencies and learning outcomes for each level of data proficiency, from beginner to expert;
- We are establishing a data literacy community of practice, where employees can share best practices, learn from each other, and access relevant resources and tools, including establishing a mentoring programme;
- We are embedding data literacy into our talent development processes, to ensure that data skills are recognised and rewarded;
- Capability development and user-centric design is a core part of all transformation programmes to enable adoption, utilisation, and ultimately business value beyond delivery of any technical solution or product.
Data literacy is a critical enabler to deliver on our vision to become the best data insights-driven consumer product company. Unleashing the power of data enables us to make better decisions, at speed, to drive business performance, and build trust in the data and how we use it effectively.
