Basics of Navigating Data for Managers
Help managers build critical data literacy skills to support their team and make stronger business decisions.
- In today’s increasingly data-driven world, data literacy is a core competency for all professionals. However, not all people managers are equipped with the skills and know-how to effectively engage with data.
- Despite the beneficial insights that data can provide, many people managers continue to rely on intuition and experience alone when making important business decisions. This leaves decisions more susceptible to bias and can result in unforeseen risks or the loss of exciting opportunities.

Our Advice
Critical Insight
- People managers don’t have to be statistical experts to successfully leverage data in their roles. Rather, they need to know how to access relevant internal and external data and capitalize on data use cases to support organizational goals.
- Not all data is timely and accurate. People managers must ensure that they take the opportunity to mitigate bias and understand the factors involved in data-driven decision-making before acting.
Impact and Result
- When people managers understand how to identify and leverage relevant data, they are more likely to drive progress, offer strategic recommendations, reduce risks, and solve critical issues.
- Providing people managers with training on data literacy will better prepare them to identify credible data sources, share insightful data literacy examples with their teams, and make decisions that lead to better outcomes for their organizations.
