Foundations of Data Literacy

Course Overview

In an increasingly data-driven world, the ability to understand, work with and communicate data is no longer just for analysts, it is a core competency for every professional.

This 2-hour course demystifies "data literacy" and provides a practical framework for using data to drive value.

Delegates will explore how to move beyond simply viewing reports to asking the purposeful questions that lead to better business decisions.


Course Content

The course will cover the following:

  • The data revolution: What data literacy really means and why it’s one of the most in-demand skill of the decade
  • Asking purposeful questions: Transitioning from "What happened?" to "Why did it happen?" and "What should we do next?"
  • The data lifecycle: A high-level overview of how data is captured, cleaned, and curated for use
  • Real-world impact: Case studies of successful digital transformations and data-driven decision-making in business
  • Critical thinking with data: Identifying common pitfalls, biases, and the importance of data quality


Benefits

  • Confidence: Gain the vocabulary and confidence to engage in data-related discussions
  • Efficiency: Learn how to identify which data is relevant to your specific role and goals
  • Problem solving: Develop a framework for asking measurable questions that yield actionable insights
  • Strategic alignment: Understand how your role contributes to the wider data strategy of your organisation
