In this digital age, data is the lifeblood of business. Just as computer literacy became a non-negotiable skill in the 21st century, data literacy is now an essential competency in our increasingly data-driven world. Yet, despite its critical importance, it's an area where many individuals and businesses stumble. Understanding, interpreting, and effectively using data can be challenging, even daunting. The lack of data literacy skills can lead to misinterpretation, misuse, and missed opportunities for businesses and individuals. Many struggle to find a structured approach to elevate their data literacy skills, often feeling lost in the vast sea of numbers and metrics.

Every day, like invisible breadcrumbs, we leave trails of personal data scattered across the digital landscape. Each click, every search, every purchase - they all tell a story about us. But do we know where these breadcrumbs lead? Who's picking them up? And most importantly, what are they doing with them? In an era where data is documenting our lives across a host of platforms, understanding these trails and their implications is no longer a luxury but rather, a necessity. It's about our privacy, our rights, and our well-being in an increasingly interconnected world.

Randy Bean: Why Chief Data Officers are set up to fail and how to fix it 55:56

2 years temu55:56

55:56

We’re definitely in AI hype mode at the moment largely driven by the evolution in generative AI. However, it seems like this progress is not necessarily driving lots of data-related innovation inside organisations that are not AI-first tech companies. A recent survey published by Randy Bean’s company, NewVantage Partners, confirms this. Here are the main findings compared to when the survey was last run 4 years ago: 59.5% of executives say their companies use data for business innovation – the same as four years ago. A drop from 47.6% to 40.8% of executives say their companies compete using data and analytics. Fewer executives (39.5% down from 46.9%) say their companies manage data as a business asset. Only 23.9% of executives now say their companies are data-driven, compared to 31% before. Just 20.6% of executives report having a data culture in their companies, down 27% from 28.3% in 2019. These numbers spell regression, not progress. Why is it so hard to become a truly data-driven organisation? In this episode, Randy and I explore the challenges facing Chief Data & Analytics Officers and their teams, including: How organizations can create an environment that encourages innovation in data-driven initiatives Examples of organisations doing data well, and why How to set clear expectations around the responsibilities of CDAOs The most important qualities for someone in the CDAO role, and much more.

From Data to Decisions: Strategies for Building a Data-Driven Culture with Kevin Hanegan 49:21

In a world where data is the new oil, being able to understand, analyse and interpret it is a vital skill. As the saying goes, "knowledge is power," and in this case, data literacy is the key to unlocking that power. I argue that data literacy is as important to individual and organisational success as computer literacy, but unfortunately that is not a consensus view. For many organisations and their leaders, low data literacy is hampering their ability to make effective, data-driven decisions. What is the key to creating a data literate organisation and unlocking the true potential of your data? Who better to guide us through the many aspects of this question than data literacy expert Kevin Hanegan. Kevin is the Chief Learning Officer at Qlik and a renowned author of the books “Data Literacy in Practice” and “Turning Data into Wisdom”.
