Why is data literacy important?

Minerra Icon

What is Data Literacy?

Data literacy is the ability to acquire, work with, read, analyse, communicate and argue effectively using data.

Data literacy is more than just a business skill

“As data…becomes increasingly important, power will flow to those who are able to create, control and understand data. Those who cannot, will become powerless.”

How has Minerra helped its clients with data literacy training?

Why is data literacy important?

Data literacy is the ability to acquire, work with, analyse and communicate effectively using data to answer questions or make decisions.

Recent research has found that:

  • Data is becoming a “critical skill” for all organisations, but globally “three quarters (74 percent) of employees report feeling overwhelmed or unhappy when working with data.”
  • Low data literacy levels are “a real barrier to businesses trying to build a data-driven culture”
  • 48% of employee globally need help to read, write and comprehend data
  • Gartner estimates that by 2020, 80% of organizations will start to roll out data literacy initiatives to upskill their workforce
