Stream: Data Literacy

Who it’s for: Any organisation that can demonstrate clear progress across the full spectrum of data literacy, from the vision for data through to the data foundations.

How to win it: Beyond the data department itself, data literacy builds performance, effectiveness and better outcomes for everybody in the organisation. It’s a journey, so this award is for an organisation that can demonstrate real progress towards its data literacy goals, whether from a low level of maturity or at the top end of cultural transformation. 

Stream: Data Literacy

Who it’s for: A cultural change that was driven by data and has significantly increased its adoption by stakeholders and data consumers.

How to win it: Judges will be looking for how your organisation introduced a fresh set of working practices oriented around data in order to bring about evidence-based decision-making, process design or outcome measurement. Demonstrate that you have changed specific behaviours and put data at the heart of your working practices.

Stream: Data Literacy

Who it’s for: A programme that demonstrates a clear commitment to applying an ethical lens to the way data is being used.

How to win it: Ethics should be a set of behaviours that inform how decisions are made about the use of data at every stage. Our judges are looking for an example of how policies and frameworks have been developed and then actively applied. Evidence of how ethical choices have changed a process, decision or outcome will be compelling.

Stream: Data Literacy

Who it’s for: Effective examples of how data insights have been communicated through story-telling or visualisation.

How to win it: Supply a case study which demonstrates how the insights from analytics were developed and communicated to the stakeholder, whether through high impact visualisation or story-telling. The winner will be able to show how the approach made a significant difference as a consequence of strong communication techniques.

Stream: Data Literacy

Who it’s for: An individual who is the voice of data.

How to win it: To win this award, you will demonstrate how you are the voice of data in your organisation or in the wider industry and economy. You may have a seat in the board room or you could be a key influencer in the wider debate about adopting data and analytics. Either way, when you talk about data, other people listen.

Stream: Data Literacy

Who it’s for: Any programme that is focused on building data skills and a data-first mindset.

How to win it: All organisations need to ensure that employees right across the enterprise have an understanding and appreciation of how data can support their processes. Data skills need to be developed and refreshed, even within the data department itself. The judges will be looking for evidence of how skills are being supported as part of an integrated approach to learning and development.
