About the Webinar
When we learn a new language, the purpose is to be able to communicate with people who speak in ways that are different from us. But it takes both people to learn from each other.
Very few data literacy courses focus directly on how people communicate with each other, how both parties transfer information, or how our choice of language and questions impacts the success of interactions. While we focus on improving literacy in non-native data speakers, we mostly ignore the role of native speakers.
Here, we will explore what it takes to maximize the value of literacy by focusing partly on those who already know the language.
About the Speakers
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.
