This is informative and interesting. And it's also written just so that newbies can easily grasp what is being talked about. In this day and age, everyone needs to be data literate.

I had to read this because now more than ever data is key and knowing how to read, analyze and use that data is key especially for someone like me who works with international and local organizations.
It was interesting to learn the difference between digital and data literacy.

Thanks Netgalley for the eARC.

When Jordan Morrow brought up the difference between digital literacy and data literacy, I knew I had to read on. How many of us are truly confident of our technical abilities in analysing data and communicating our findings effectively? This book does a great job in providing a background for beginners to appreciate how data can be utilised in various industries and how different roles in an organisation will require analysis for different purposes. I like that the author explains concepts in a simple conversational narrative that anyone who picked up this book will be able to ease in quite well. Snippets of real life examples are also thrown in for readers to have more concrete understanding.

Thank you NetGalley and Kogan Page for this eARC in exchange for a honest review. This review is also posted on my Instagram page @technicallyreadingbooks.

Data literacy is very important today as the one who owns and understands data owns the business success. It takes a while to learn how to read data because all business decisions today are made based on analysis of data on customers, business trends, NPS, strategy. The skills is very important to have at all levels of the business.

This book is a really interesting look at data and how it important it is in today’s world. It is written more like a textbook and it gives a really good overview. I would recommend this book for someone that doesn’t have a strong data background but is looking to learn more

This is a great primer for the importance of data in our working lives. I particularly enjoyed the level it's pitched at - not too high, nor too low. To give you some background, I'm highly numerate, but work in an industry that doesn't have a reputation for being particularly numerate. I wanted a refresher/overview, and this delivered the goods. Data is useful for building support for business cases/proposals, so this is an area where there is room for improvement for everyone. Concepts are explained in a practical way, using real-world examples, so you're not left scratching your head at abstractions. The only downside I could see was the derogatory references to data scientists - not cool!
