EEDL Webinar: Taking Off the Blinders — How Experience Limits Our Perspective on Literacy

Part of our webinar series:

About the Webinar

We don’t know what we don’t know. Often, literacy efforts focus on the narrow experiences of data professionals rather than broader perspectives. For example, most companies still keep their data in silos, owned and protected by different parts of the business. Data owners become experts in “their” area but remain uninformed about most other areas. Becoming literate in other areas requires a broader perspective. Here, we will look at the parallels of big data adoption (expanding domains) and literacy (expanding language).

For over 35 years, Wendy Lynch, PhD has converted complex analytics into business value. At heart, she is a sense-maker and translator. A consultant to numerous Fortune 100 companies, her current work focuses on the application of Big Data solutions in Human Capital Management. Through her roles in diverse work settings—including digital start-ups, century-old insurers, academic medical centers, consulting firms, health care providers and the board room—she became familiar with (and fascinated by) the unique language of each. She also became familiar with the difficult dynamic that often exists between business and analytic teams—preventing them from collaborating effectively. Those experiences led to her true passion of promoting clear and meaningful conversations that produce mutual understanding and success. The result is her new book Become an Analytic Translator, and an online course.
