Topic Description:

Many firms have now come to the realization that they need to train a good portion of their workforce to become more "data literate." At the same time, more "intelligence" is being incorporated into end-user tools. For example, Tableau 2019.4 can "explain" why a given data point differs from all the presence of other, potentially explanatory variables. We might think of this like adding power steering and automatic gear shifts to cars; suddenly there was the need to give driver's ed to millions more potential drivers. Come share how you are rolling out data literacy training, or if you are not, share why not.
