“Just like people don\u2019t need an advanced English degree to be literate, your employees don\u2019t need advanced statistical knowledge and programming skills in Python or R to be data literate. Reading and writing skill levels are often defined by what people can or can\u2019t accomplish in their everyday life\u2014we must do the same for data literacy.”<\/p>\n

~ Brent Dykes, Forbes<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
