What is the Cross-Functional Data Literacy Programs course about?
Even with access to the same dashboards and reports, team members in marketing, finance, product, and engineering often draw different conclusions. In distributed settings, these gaps widen, leading to rework, stalled initiatives, and eroded trust in data. Leaders lack a proven method to create shared understanding at scale.
