When we have created the greatest data products, reports or dashboards and nobody understands them, we might need to look at the data and information literacy level of our readers.
In this session we look at some practical steps towards improving data literacy that we can apply in our organizations and look at some questionable insights and presentations that we might want to refrain from using.
For our organization to be equipped to reap the benefits of the data (the new oil) the whole organization needs to be comfortable with using data and information in any of its many forms.
How do we prepare our data (sets, marts, lakes, lake houses) for maximum readability and usability?
How do we present our information for maximum effectiveness? Is the message being delivered and received?
We will look at categories of data, and how they nudge us in a particular direction of presentation.
Why is metadata even more important for the end user than the creator?
What are the most effective ways of presenting information to the seeing eye?
Why is clarity so important and how do we move towards increased clarity when communicating through data and information?
At the end of the session the attendees will have some additional tools to help move the data literacy levels of their organizations in the right direction.
