MOVING INSTITUTIONS FROM DATA LITERACY TO DATA FLUENCY
To address the most pressing challenges facing our clients, The Hardy Group polled our LinkedIn followers to find out which topics they wanted to explore further. The top choice was the need for data literacy on campus and among higher education professionals.
In response, we hosted a fireside chat featuring a distinguished panel of data experts, during which we will explore how higher education institutions can advance beyond foundational data literacy.
Our conversation focused on effective strategies for achieving genuine data fluency.
Let’s move our institutions from data literacy to data fluency.
