Data literacy is so boring (77 mins)

Data literacy might be one of the most boring sounding topics ever to a lot of people. Learning about data can be difficult and requires a lot of change, which nobody likes. Imagine though, that you were still using paper instead of Microsoft Word or some other digitized tool. One day we’ll have the same thought with data. You don’t have to be a data guru to be data literate, but you need to at least be able to talk to a data guru to explain what you need from them to add value relative to your position in the organization.

In this session we’ll discuss data literacy strategies and what the floor for everyone should be in working with data.
