Are you Data Literate?!

[Sarah_Miller]

What is Data Literacy?

Everyone is empowered and has the right to:

• Access education and tools that enable data literacy.  This means having full confidence to read, work with, analyze and argue data.
• Access quality data - full source disclosure and accountability
• Combine, cross-pollinate and interrogate data, algorithms and findings

Recent Data Literacy StatsIn a study done in Asia Pacific, Qlik found that that overall 80% found they were data illiterate! Also in the Americas, only 33% of decision business makers are data literate!  As a result, work performance suffers and the success of the business is impacted.
