DLIT0: Data Literacy Learning Plan

In the Data Literacy Learning Plan, instructor John Ladley examines many different aspects of Data Literacy, including the role of literacy in becoming a data-driven organization, how to build a Data Literacy program, how to sell literacy within an organization, setting up different types of training based on needs, change management and literacy, metrics and measurements, and more. This three-course Learning Plan also addresses the biggest challenge to organizations successfully using and managing data: ignorance, or a lack of understanding, which leads to a resistance to change.
