My 2018 Qlik Highlight - Data Literacy
Now of course I can't end this without sharing my 2018 Qlik Highlight. This is the hard part. There were so many things I can select from - oh and I'll be mentioning many of them in my year in review post later this month, but I think the Qlik 2018 highlight for me was not about a product or new feature or technology but rather Qlik's initiative to focus on improving Data Literacy in the workplace for many organizations. Data literacy can be defined as the ability to read, work with, analyze and argue with data. It's a skill which empowers workers to ask the right questions of data and machines, build knowledge, make decisions and communicate meaning with others. Yet research shows that those leading the business are struggling to master it, and there's a widespread deficiency in data confidence. Qlik along with other partners has participated in the Data Literacy Project; a global community dedicated to building a data-literate culture for all. Each partner has created resources and programs to help one improve their data skills, or nurture expertise inside your organization. Qlik has created a series of free courses designed to make you data literate so you can analyze data with confidence. I think this speaks volumes about how Qlik engages with its employees, customers and partners by not only making data analytics software but by providing assistance and resources on a topic that is designed to help you work with the great technology it produces.
