Data Literacy ~ Data Communities
Data Communities
Data communities - networks of engaged data users within an organization - represent a way for businesses to create conditions where people can immerse themselves in the language of data, encouraging data literacy and fueling excitement around data and analytics... to generate data insights that are truly valuable, people need to become fluent in data—to understand the data they see and participate in conversations where data is the lingua franca. Just as a professional who takes a job abroad needs to immerse herself in the native tongue, businesses who value data literacy need ways to immerse their people in the language of data (Compton, 2020).
