Elevating Corporate Competitiveness through Data Literacy

Elice

2/15/2024

In today’s rapidly evolving corporate landscape, the key to competitiveness lies in ‘the ability to effectively utilize data.’ It is becoming increasingly clear that the true value does not merely reside in amassing vast quantities of data but in the capacity to adeptly manage and interpret this data with high quality. Against this backdrop, data literacy has ascended as a critical competency required in the modern business arena. In our latest discussion, we delved into the concept of data literacy, underscoring its importance and the imperative for corporate education in this domain.


What is Data Literacy?

Data literacy, proficiency in reading, understanding, analyzing, and applying data in decision-making, is pivotal in the modern corporate arena. This competency encompasses the entire process from data collection and interpretation to the effective dissemination of insights for informed decision-making. It signifies not just the ability to interpret data but to recognize its value and leverage it for solving business challenges.

Data manifests in various forms, including text, images, and numbers, making the skill of synthesizing key insights and conveying findings through market research quintessential examples of data literacy. Consequently, these skills are becoming increasingly indispensable not only for data specialists but also for professionals across all sectors, marking data literacy as a fundamental competency in today’s workforce.

We looked at the concept of data literacy earlier. Then, what kind of effort is needed to develop data literacy competency? Let’s find out by dividing the core elements of data literacy competency into four categories.


Capability to understand and design data

First, you need the ability to understand data in order to develop data literacy skills. This refers to the ability to understand the structure, type, and meaning of data. In particular, the ability to design ‘what data to collect’ is very important. You also need to define the problem correctly and collect the appropriate data. When you collect data that does not fit the problem, it becomes difficult to interpret and eventually you cannot come up with the right solution. Therefore, data comprehension and design skills are critical factors in data literacy competency.


Data analytics capability

Another important factor is the ability to analyze data to interpret the collected data and derive insights. The key to solving the next problem is how to interpret the data if you have collected it well. Appropriate reasoning and imagination are required, and rather than simply interpreting the data as objective numbers, you should be able to derive ‘what facts can be inferred’ and ‘what hypotheses to establish’.


Decision-making ability

You should be able to make rational decisions based on your findings, including the ability to produce data-based solutions, as well as the ability to determine the next action in the problem-solving process, such as whether additional verification is required and whether data supplementation is required.


Communication capabilities

Communication skills that effectively communicate the final decision are also crucial. After all, data literacy skills aim to define and solve problems, so it is essential to have the communication skills to persuade others to create solutions together. In addition to this, detailed data literacy skills such as data collection, management, processing, and visualization vary greatly. After all, data literacy is essentially the ability to solve problems.

We’ve learned more about data literacy capabilities. So why is data literacy important for businesses? We’ve summarized the three reasons below.


Ensures competitive advantage

As data education develops into a data-capable enterprise, it enables you to predict market trends and better understand customer needs. This increases customer satisfaction and secures a reliable competitive advantage.


Effective Decision Making

Business operations require strategic planning, because a single misjudgment can cause a company to falter significantly. So companies must gather accurate information and develop appropriate strategies based on it. Companies with data training capabilities can gather accurate information and make far more rational decisions than intuition or speculation.


Reduce costs and increase revenue

Finally, data analytics can help improve inefficiencies and find new business opportunities. It helps to reduce costs and increase profits by increasing or increasing productivity. Companies that increase data literacy have a strong competitive edge in pursuing both cost efficiency and profit growth.


Data Literacy Corporate Training

As the importance of data is growing, many companies are interested in data literacy education. Usually, when large companies establish DX in-house education systems, they organize data literacy subjects as the most basic step. Then, what will be learned in data literacy corporate education? As the subjects of the course are those who want to understand data, those who want to clearly distinguish unclear data, and those who want to use data, we will focus on enhancing data analysis competitiveness by developing literacy skills that know the purpose of data analysis and use it well. It may vary depending on the training period or subject, but mainly in-house data literacy education, you will learn the following.


  • Understand the concept of data, learn the value, and learn the data analysis process that allows you to utilize it as a ‘purpose’ itself.

  • Learn how to look at data critically and select good data for your purpose along with how you look at it.

  • To improve understanding of data quality, understand source data, data bias, errors, missing, etc., and increase the reliability of analysis of data.

  • Learn about structured and unstructured data, categorical data, etc., gather high-quality data that can create value, and learn how to communicate through data.


We’ve explored the concept and critical importance of data literacy and its role in corporate in-house training. Elice has been at the forefront of conducting data literacy training aimed at bolstering digital transformation (DX) competencies across various companies. Whether you’re in pursuit of foundational training to elevate your company’s grasp of DX or seeking to enhance data literacy skills for non-data-centric roles, Elice’s data literacy training programs come highly recommended!
