Timothy Stanley: I don't like data literacy either because it gets defined as being, we're going to teach them how to log into the system. He says he's trying so hard to get everyone around him to not use this language of "we need to educate the stakeholders"Stanley: It comes back to they don't get it. Like that is the reality. And we are trying to help them understand it, but it's like, 'I can't even talk about this without having this really visceral physical reaction'
This topic was such a big deal that we managed to have no guests, and yet we had five people on the mic! Why? Because this episode doubles as a marker of a shift in the show itself. Beyond that, though, we had a lively discussion about how every business stakeholder professes to being committed to being data driven. That should make every stakeholder super easy to work with, right? And, yet, analysts often find themselves struggling to get on the same page with their counterparts due to the realities of the data: what it can and can't do and how it is most effectively worked with. Not a small topic! There were even pop quizzes (feel free to let us know how you'd score the answers)!
