Ep 6 | Data Literacy with Ffion Turner, Mediacom

In episode 6 of Data Leaders of the North; The Podcast, we are joined by Ffion Turner, Group Partner of Business Intelligence at Mediacom where we discuss some of the key considerations and challenges with one of the most popular industry buzzwords; Data Literacy.

Ffion gives some key insights into:

  • The key challenge of improving data literacy within an organization
  • How data literacy can determine how “data-driven” an organization truly is
  • Why usability of data is more important than the amount of data a business has
  • The correlation between availability and literacy of data
  • How “buy-in” from the top can drive literacy across an organization
  • That as an industry, we need to demystify data and make it relevant/fun in order to drive the users interest/understanding
  • Why educating children at a younger age will help with data literacy in business
