Summary

In this chapter, we learned how to assess both the data literacy maturity of an organization as well as an individual’s data literacy competency level. For both, we provided a very simple assessment that should take no longer than 15 minutes, along with more robust assessments that will give you more specifics on your gaps and where to focus next. Ideally, you will take the assessments initially so that you have a baseline and then retake the assessment at future intervals – for example, every 6 months or every year – to see how well you are closing the gaps.

In the next and final chapter, we will focus on how you should approach data and analytics projects within your organization, as well as what risks to look out for.
