Course Objectives
We live in a world that revolves around data. Data is regarded as the key resource that powers the world in the 21st century. According to the International Data Corporation (IDC), many organizations still lack the data literacy skills to achieve business value. Organizations that have accumulated a large amount of data would not see many benefits until it is harnessed to work for your organization. Poor data literacy is one of the stumbling blocks and limits a company’s ability to reap value from data. To combat this, organizations will have to promote and develop their staff’s competencies in data.
Data literacy, as defined by MIT, is the ‘ability to read, work with, analyze, and argue with data’. It is a set of core essential skills everyone in an organization needs to use data effectively in their day-to-day activities and for decision-making. Used in the right way, data can help every employee achieve their objectives, perform their job better, and contribute to overall company performance. Employees who are data literate will also understand how to handle data appropriately, which will reduce the number of data breaches. Managers have to lead their organizations by setting the direction and the strategies on how data can be applied in the various parts of the organization. This course is designed for all professionals to gain the fundamental skills to understand and work with data for the organization.
