Data leaders bewail employee data illiteracy | TechTarget
Summary
The firm’s Index draws on the community it has built up through its annual chief data officer summer school. They say this constitutes the biggest barrier to companies’ and other organisations’ data transformation programmes. Carruthers and Jackson said its Index is based on what it calls its Data Maturity Model, comprising four elements – purpose, people, method and tools. “Having worked with hundreds of organisations to support their data transformations, we wanted to use our model to understand what is really going on and share this information with the community. Team members at every level of an organisation must have the foundational ability to understand, work with, analyse, and communicate with data.” James Miller, product and strategy director at the firm, added: “While it is worrying that so many organisations have little or no data governance framework, what really makes or breaks an organisation’s data strategy is the people using it every day.
