The Vizlib Monday Digest is a summary of recent articles about how data changes our lives. We’re sharing it with you to supercharge your week! (Feel free to share your comments!)
Data literacy – the human evolution to embrace data. Though many businesses are leveraging data in their day to day operations, it’s full potential often remains untapped. The underlying cause rests on the human side with many in the workforce not fully equipped to extract value from data. Explore how enterprise leaders can foster data confidence and maximise productivity by empowering their workforce in Jordan Morrow’s latest Qlik blog.

C-suites with powerful BI tools have the upper-hand. Decisions made at a c-suite or private equity level require hugely accurate insights. And execs utilising under-powered analysis tools may not get the results they seek. Discover how advanced analytics can improve the lifecycle of an investment and bolster earnings in this Forbes article.
DataOps – extracting max value from your data. DataOps applies the principles of DevOps to data analytics creating an agile approach to data governance. Best practices in this new approach, like enabling self-service mechanisms for using data, drive greater automation and are the key to data democratisation. Discover more in this tip-rich TDWI article.
Templates are also an excellent tool for improving data democratisation. And Vizlib Templates can help you streamline your app development process too. You can read about more business benefits in our Vizlib Templates introductory blog.

And our Quote of the day from the Qlik Accenture Human Impact on Data Literacy report:
“Self-service without self-sufficiency is a bit like going fishing and expecting the fish to jump out of the lake for you. You need the rods, the bait and the nets to be self-sufficient to catch the fish. That’s what employers need to provide employees when it comes to reading and understanding data.”
