Event Overview
Data literacy is now a fundamental driver of cultural transformation, decision-making, operational efficiency, and innovation. Without a data-literate workforce, organisations struggle to fully leverage AI, analytics, and emerging technologies.
In this session, we’ll explore:
- Key Benefits of Data Literacy: Learn from NFU Mutual about building a confident, data-driven culture and reducing reliance on data teams.
- Overcoming Common Barriers: Address challenges including fear of data, leadership buy-in, and bridging technical gaps.
- Strategic Collaboration: Insights on the role of a Data Literacy Manager and the impact of external partnerships.
- Getting Started: Practical steps for assessing data culture, gaining executive buy-in, and fostering a data-literate workforce.
- For those already on the journey, we’ll discuss how to measure and articulate ROI, showing that data literacy is a revenue driver, not an expense.
