Leeds data-driven business transformation expert Oakland has partnered with Data Literacy Academy to help businesses develop the skills and resources they need to make the most of their data assets and align their data capabilities with their business strategy.
Oakland and the Data Literacy Academy emphasise a two-way approach to data literacy. The approach acknowledges that data professionals must understand business needs, just as business leaders and decision-makers must comprehend the potential and limitations of data. Effective communication and collaboration are essential for organisations to unlock the true value of their data and make informed decisions.
The partnership’s primary goals include embedding data literacy early on and throughout the journey from initial planning to implementation and empowering individuals to make informed decisions that drive growth. By bridging the gap between data and business understanding, Oakland and Data Literacy Academy aim to enable organisations to unlock the true potential of their data assets.
Customers will benefit from comprehensive support on both the technology and people sides of data initiatives. Data Literacy Academy will provide impactful change management programs, supported by Oakland’s strategic planning and technical implementation.
Andy Crossley, CTO at Oakland, said: “By joining forces, Oakland and Data Literacy Academy aim to empower organisations on their digital transformation journey like never before. All too often, we hear about the poor performance of data projects. We’re committed to turning this around.”
