First there was computer literacy, now it's data literacy
A data-driven organization requires data access, infrastructure, and tools. But these are meaningless without a workforce that has the skills to access relevant data, understand what it means related to their role and use it to achieve business objectives. In this session, we'll talk about how data literacy is the next evolution of computer literacy, and the 4 foundations of a data literate organization that facilitate adoption of your data strategy.
