Chief Data Officers and CIOs have done brilliant work with their corporate data assets, breaking down silos and implementing powerful systems to interpret and visualize the data and findings. Digital transformation initiatives have the backing of the C-suite and are in process in every corner of the organization.
But engagement and usage of all these valuable tools is still far too low. Despite extensive training and ongoing support from leadership, the rank and file are still not fully engaged with the data and analytics that can add so much value to the company and its operations.
The Science of Humanizing Data
After extensive research, we’ve identified a key missing element that derails most digital transformation and data democratization initiatives: the practice of Humanizing data.
The process of Humanizing data takes complex data assets and scientifically re-works them to engage individuals and groups that are not analysts, scientists or technologists. This popular, new technique is designed to engage and activate users of all skill levels, across departments.
Humanizing data uses the science of human behavior, visual perception, design thinking and the fundamentals of human cognition to create materials that users want to consume and digest.
This workshop teaches the fundamentals of this essential new approach to engaging every user and every department across the organization.
