As leaders continue to realize the importance of data analytics for their bottom line, they are likely recognizing that they need to also assess their team’s current level of data literacy. I previously wrote about three steps leaders can take to create a culture of data sharing, including establishing a solid data infrastructure, championing data literacy and instilling long-term, data-driven thinking.
However, taking a step back, before attempting to develop a data-sharing culture, it’s critical to first assess where an organization and its employees fall in terms of data literacy. This way, leaders can identify where needs lie and act in accordance with current skills levels at their company. I’ve worked with multiple organizations where they discovered a divide between their aspirational levels of data literacy for their team members and their realization of current levels of understanding.
