I spoke with Andrew Beers, CTO of Tableau, about why companies need to focus on improving their staff’s data literacy. Plus: he addresses the tension between running a business based on instinct versus using data analytics.

  • Let’s talk about the report – but first, let’s clarify. The report mentions the importance of data literacy. What exactly is data literacy? How can or should companies quantify it?
  • The report says that data training is key to fighting the Great Resignation. What else do you see as particularly important about the report?
  • Data training is vital to employee success and retention. How can companies prioritize it?
  • The future of data literacy? It appears that the data literacy of workers is growing rapidly.
