New Book Objectively Defines Data Literacy

SEDONA, Ariz., Oct. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Technics Publications (https://technicspub.com/) today announced the immediate availability of the new book

Data Literacy: Achieving Higher Productivity for Citizens, Knowledge Workers, and Organizations.

The book objectively defines data literacy for the first time, explains the various roles needed in a data-literate society, provides a framework to increase data literacy within our organizations, and reveals the dangers of being data illiterate.

Specifically, it presents a 12-step program for achieving organizational data literacy, 30-specific Citizen Data Knowledge Areas, and addresses the challenge of educating billions of citizens using a 5-level Digital Civics Framework. This marks the first time anyone has published objective criteria for determining data literacy. Without these criteria, almost 8-billion citizens remain Perpetual Involuntary Data Donors or PIDDs.

The authors, Peter Aiken and Todd Harbour, are vastly experienced data professionals with long careers in government and the private sector. The two authors have helped organizations realize more than $1.5 billion USD in data-related savings and top-line revenue. Previous, popular works from the two authors involved defining new ways of obtaining value from data and data leadership.

Peter and Todd say that "Data literacy is the ability to read, understand, create, and communicate data as information. Until now, there have been no specifics or criteria permitting content and results to be objectively determined."

Data Literacy: Achieving Higher Productivity for Citizens, Knowledge Workers, and Organizations is available now at all major book outlets. Learn more about the book at https://technicspub.com/literacy/.
