We live and work in a data-centric world. Data is everywhere today and it is a part of nearly every business role, process, and activity. Every business professional is both a creator and a consumer of data. The prevalence of data makes data literacy an essential skill set for all business professionals. Data literacy is the ability to understand, find meaning, interpret, and communicate with data. A data literate individual has a working knowledge of where data comes from, how it is organized, how it is managed, and how it is used.

Data literacy doesn’t require that every knowledge worker must become deeply technical – only that they have practical understanding of the terminology, concepts, and practices needed to weave data into their day-to-day activities. This course is designed to provide the fundamental knowledge that is the foundation of data literacy.

You will learn:

Various kinds of data and how each contributes to business understanding
Types of data storage ranging from basic files to SQL and NoSQL databases
Types and roles of metadata
Finding and using metadata
Essential data management practices – governance, protection, and ethics
Multiple kinds of data resources – warehouse, data lake, etc. – and how each contributes to data management and business value
Processes and techniques to find patterns, meaning, and insights through data analysis
Techniques for communicating with data – both reading and creating data visualizations

This course is geared towards:

Anyone who is interested to learn about data – especially business people who find that data and analysis of data are increasingly important to their work activities and job responsibilities.
