A New Playbook For Data Literacy

Aligning Strategy, Behavior, and Culture for Data Literacy

Why a New Playbook is Needed

Despite years of investment in data tools and training, most organizations still struggle to turn data into decisions.

Why? Because data literacy isn't just about skills or access—it's about behavior, culture, and structure working together.

This guide introduces a new playbook for embedding data literacy across the organization—not as a one-time training initiative, but as a system of daily behaviors, strategic alignment, and cultural reinforcement. It's designed to help leaders, teams, and practitioners move beyond isolated efforts and create lasting, scalable fluency with data.
