Can you derive meaningful information from your data? If not, you definitely need to consider improving your data literacy. According to a global report; “Data literacy is a critical skill to develop a more effective workforce while also helping students become more attractive job candidates.”

In any organisation, a key element of success is the ability to deliver what is promised. When demand outstrips supply, brand reliability is damaged and potential growth thwarted. In a modern age, businesses that don’t rely on software innovations to ensure maximum profit and productivity are missing a crucial step.

“Data literacy” is a term we’ve heard many times – and one we will definitely hear more and more in the future. We’re living in a world of data, and in the last two years we’ve amassed more data than in the history of the world. Yet, as more money means more problems, so more data can mean more problems.

Data is the foundation of the transformation journey. It is driving the accelerated growth towards a transformed world. However, far too often, data is also the problem – as we witness data warehouses and lakes rapidly transforming into data swamps and graveyards.

Through the strategic use of data, organisations are empowered to solve complex business problems. Whether it is surgeons determining how and when to offer care to who, or criminal justice departments looking for trends to curb crime, transforming internal data analytics capabilities is essential.
