Data literacy has become an essential skill set for everyone who works in business today, and a must for every organization to remain competitive. One job role in particular is well-suited to lead the charge for data literacy within an organization: data stewards.

Data stewards are the bridge between business people who work with data and technical people who work with data. Ideally, they speak the language of the business, speak the language of information management, and can translate between the two.

This puts data stewards in a unique position where data literacy is an essential competency to be highly effective as a data steward. Perhaps more importantly, data stewards take on a critical role in coaching, mentoring, and developing data literacy throughout the workforce.

The multi-lingual data steward — one who speaks business, technology, and data — is especially valuable as an influencer of enterprise data culture.

Growing literacy doesn’t happen without assessment and planning—assessment of literacy levels both individually and organizationally, and planning to fill knowledge gaps identified through assessment. Begin your journey today by taking our Data Literacy Self- Assessment.
