Are you fluent in Data? Better yet, are you a good interpreter and communicator of Data? If so, then you possess a great skill: Data Fluency, defined as the “ ability to use the language of data to fluidly exchange and explore ideas within your organization.” This enlightening book is intended as:

• A roadmap for transforming an organization with a lot of data to one that uses that data to share ideas and knowledge.
• Practical advice for both consumers and producers of data products (reports, dashboards, analyses). It takes both an effective presenter and a willing audience for the data to flow freely.
• A guide for executives who are energized by the opportunities to make a smarter organization, but puzzled by their organization’s struggle to be more data-driven.
• An inventory of the skills and capabilities needed to be data fluent, and an opportunity to see where you stand.
