About this title

Synopsis

When you think of data, do you think of complex charts and dashboards, things that are best left up to the experts to decipher? It's time to debunk that myth.

In this book, you will discover the following:

What data literacy is (it's more than just reading a chart)
Why everyone should have a basic understanding of data literacy (your opinion matters)
How our brains make decisions (there is a science to decision-making)
How to become aware of individual and organizational bias (so we can grow as people while avoiding costly mistakes)
How to turn data into wisdom (a clear process and methodology for turning data
Information into powerful insights for your company)

Turning Data into Wisdom: How We Can Collaborate with Data to Change Ourselves, Our Organizations, and Even the World presents a 6-phase, 12-step process to help those at all levels of an organization use their knowledge, skills, and experience to make data-informed decisions that can help transform their companies-and sometimes, even the world. The many real-life examples and case studies as well as tools, definitions, and templates will help you feel equipped and empowered to understand, seek out, and discuss data with others, ultimately using this information to make the best decisions for your business and the people it serves.

Store Description

Welcome to the Solr Books & Books4Cause AbeBooks page! We are a social venture dedicated to supporting social causes, education, and community through a business model. Books4Cause doesn?t raise funds or rely on government grants. All of our funding comes from selling a portion of used books donated to us. Our main goal is to recirculate books back into the hands of people who will read and treasure them. We support both local and global initiatives. Through partnering with the African Library Project, we have built over 120 libraries in nursery schools, elementary schools, high schools, and universities across 18 countries in Africa. Our pop-up free library program in Chicago distributes free books in under-served neighborhoods throughout the city, giving necessary resources to children, adults, and families who otherwise may not have been able to access them.
