Winning Hearts and Minds: Keys to Improving Data Literacy in Your Organization<\/h2>\n

Data Literacy is one of those topics that hopefully never goes away, nor should it. It is constantly evolving with greater accessibility. In a healthy data culture, data governance becomes a way to drive community awareness, which in turn helps to drive literacy and culture. As data is increasingly being used to make important business decisions it is important to know the why behind the data. Sometimes perspective is what we need to be reminded about when working with data pipelines and virtualization tools. Let us walk through a manifesto of guiding principles that have proven to be successful in implementing a people focused data supported data literacy program.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
