Data Literacy for Non-Technical Professionals
Business professionals encounter data in reports, dashboards, targets, and everyday conversations, yet many are expected to interpret it without a clear grounding in what the numbers mean. A chart can appear convincing while leaving out important context, and a familiar metric can encourage the wrong conclusion when its definition or limitations are unclear. Confidence with data begins with asking useful questions about how information was gathered, what it shows, and what remains uncertain.
Data Literacy for Non-Technical Professionals helps participants engage with business information more confidently, without requiring a technical background. Through practical examples, participants explore common metrics, interpret tables and charts, recognise basic data-quality issues, and distinguish observation from explanation. They practise identifying the evidence needed for a business question and communicating findings in language colleagues can understand. The focus is on using data thoughtfully to support clearer discussions, better-informed decisions, and practical action in their own roles.

Yes. We begin with a discussion of your business priorities and capability gaps, then adapt examples, exercises and case discussions to your team’s context. The final scope is agreed in your proposal.
How many people can attend?
Share your expected participant count and their roles when you enquire. We will recommend a group size and facilitation approach suited to the activities and learning objectives, and confirm these in the proposal.
