Data Literacy: The Language of Business (with Audience Q&A)

Data literacy is the language of business, but unfortunately not everyone in an organization can utilize and leverage data to create business value. Developing data literacy is not only about building data skills but also about changing perspectives. By learning to view daily operations from a data perspective, people can discover new opportunities, drive innovation, and create a data-driven decision-making environment. In this session, Nokia’s Steve Tadeo will discuss how to implement a data literacy initiative addressing changes to mindset, talent, and practice—what we think, what we know, and what we do.
