How are you developing the data literacy of your organization, including the skills of your data teams and of your business stakeholders?
We have executed multiple programs to improve data literacy and technology skills in our organization. For data teams, we have followed an early-training approach with scheduled and on-demand training, through which the teams learn new technologies six months to one year before implementation. These initiatives helped ensure reduction in risk and timeline of execution, as well as reduced implementation and sustenance spend.
For business stakeholders, on-demand training on business intelligence technologies along with establishing a community of practice has helped tremendously.
Additionally, self-service enablement has helped reduction in dependency of business stakeholders on central IT organizations for reporting and analytics.
