TDWI Executive Program: Data Literacy

Prerequisite: None

Claudia Imhoff, Ph.D.

President and Founder

Intelligent Solutions, Inc.

This session will include a moderated Q&A featuring questions from the live audience.

There has been much attention given to the data scientist's role in analytics, but the real hero in a data-driven environment is the person or people who can explain not only how the analytics results were generated but what they mean to the enterprise. Establishing this role is an important key to success for the data-driven enterprise.

A data interpreter is the storyteller for the executive suite of the company. He or she is able to translate technical analytical results into meaningful business jargon with the compelling story behind the algorithms and graphs. We know that every picture tells a story but not everyone can create that story behind a graph or analytics result. These business-savvy storytellers bring the results to life in captivating ways that leave the C-suite with a clear path forward or call to action.

Attendees will learn:

• The need to make analytical results more consumable
• Description of a new role—the data interpreter
• Skills of a data interpreter
• Establishing the data interpreter function in your enterprise
