Data Literacy DL-100
While data may already be a priority in your organisation, this doesn’t always mean your team has the confidence to use data regularly and effectively in their decision making. Improved Data Literacy has been shown to increase decision making performance, providing a competitive edge to your business.
Though data-driven businesses try to hire data-literate staff, silos can arise where they become confined to IT and operational reporting. As departments become more interdependent on one another, data-literate staff must be present throughout the entire decision-making chain to minimise risk and maximise decision quality.
It’s more important than ever that your organisation has the ability to read, work with, analyse, and argue constructively with data to maintain a competitive advantage across your industry.
Our Data Literacy program will have your organisation speaking the same language and fully data-literate. We cover the fundamentals of ‘speaking data’, right through to advanced statistical concepts such as percentiles, means and correlations to treating outliers, ‘de-averaging’ and handling seasonal effects.
Target Audience This course is aimed at participants who utilise data, either through producing or consuming data or making data-driven decisions.
