Data literacy courses for teams
Decisions get made on numbers people actually understand. A 90-minute foundation teaches anyone to read charts and dashboards accurately and spot how they mislead. 5 45-minute courses then do the same for the specific data each team lives with: board packs, team dashboards, ledgers, people metrics and sales funnels.
Who it is for
Organisations that have invested in dashboards and reports and still watch decisions made on instinct. Nothing here needs a spreadsheet or a line of code. The courses are for the people who read data, not the people who build it.
What your team will be able to do
- Read a chart, table or dashboard accurately, and notice the common ways they mislead.
- Ask the second question behind a headline number.
- Judge an A/B test, an attribution report or a forecast for what it can and cannot tell you.
- Turn a report into a decision, and explain the decision to someone else.

Questions
Is this an Excel or Power BI course?
No. There is no software to learn. It is about reading, questioning and using data, whatever tool produced it.
Who should take the foundation course?
Anyone who receives reports or dashboards as part of their job. The role courses then go deeper for people who make decisions from specific kinds of data.
Does it cover AI?
Where it matters, yes: sponsoring data and AI initiatives with the right questions is part of the executive course, and the foundation touches on where AI-produced numbers need checking.
