Data literacy, much like learning to use email or spreadsheets during the days of early digital transformation, has become a foundational skill that employees at all levels must master. It refers to the ability of individuals within an organisation to understand, analyse and efficiently use data in decision-making.

​

Why Data Literacy is essential for business growth

​

By democratising data, companies can eliminate bottlenecks created by relying solely on data analysts, exponentially accelerating decision-making and freeing analysts to focus on high-value, strategic projects.

 

Major industry leaders, (e.g. Airbnb, Amazon, and Google), recognise the competitive advantage of a data-literate workforce, have even implemented internal 'data universities' to upskill their staff.

Datagator Solutions' approach to Data Literacy

​

​​

> Embedded, co-pilot approach

​

Unlike traditional classroom settings, we embed data literacy into the services we provide.

 

Needless to say that learning by doing is the most effective way to build new capabilities. That's why we adopt a co-pilot approach. We select one or several Data Champions within your team to work alongside us.

 

Through “on-the-ground” work, these Data Champions gain both the practical skills and strategic mindset of a senior data expert. Our approach is designed to be efficient: champions join us at key stages of the project, focusing on high-impact tasks that allow them to learn while continuing their day-to-day responsibilities. 

​

> Cascading learning model

​

Once the Data Champions have gained confidence, they’re ready to cascade their knowledge to others across the organisation, with ongoing support from us. This peer-driven learning model establishes a highly effective, self-sustaining culture of data literacy. This 'protégé' effect has been supported by research, showing that individuals deepen their understanding when teaching others. Additionally, peer teaching fosters higher engagement from the learner, as employees are more likely to absorb information from trusted colleagues.​​
