Data Literacy - what is it?


Data Literacy is the ability to read, write, analyse and communicate with data effectively. 

It includes the ability to: 

  • Read data, such as graphs, charts, or reports. 
  • Work with data, including collecting and producing it. 
  • Communicate with data, such as using it to make a case. 
  • Reason with data, including using data to make decisions. 

It is crucial for individuals and organisations alike and is the foundation of a data-driven culture. 



Why is it Important? 


Data-literate individuals are better able to make informed decisions, identify trends, and find value in data. At an organisational level, data literacy enables agility, efficiency and, ultimately, success. 

Specific benefits include: 

  • Data-driven decision making 
  • Conducive environment for innovation 
  • Improved operational efficiency 
  • Competitive advantage 
  • Empowered employees 
  • Improved risk management
