Develop a clear understanding of data literacy and its benefits
Data literacy means so many things to so many people and yet only you can really decide what it means to you and your organisation. To do that you need to understand the basics of the topic and how to apply them. That’s what this course will enable you to do.
You will also need to be able to argue the case for data literacy within your organisation. You know it’s important but how do you communicate that to others?

Your data literacy coaches
Nicola Askham - The Data Governance Coach
I've made it my mission to help as many people as possible be successful with Data Governance.
Your data is valuable. It enables you to make key decisions with confidence. Having the right data, and ensuring it is good quality, is essential. Data literacy is a key part of that.
I simplify Data Governance through clear language and stories which show you how it applies to you and your organisation.
Justin York - Senior Data Governance Coach
I have worked with Justin for a number of years. He has more than 20 years’ experience in the field of data and information management, in defence, financial services, charity and legal environments.
His extensive knowledge is reinforced with a technical background which enables him to discuss complex issues around data, across the business/technical divide.
We have designed and deliver this course together. We understand the issues around data literacy and more importantly how that may affect other disciplines in the wider topic of data management. We’re looking forward to helping you make sense of data literacy.
