<<set $initialchoice to "">> <<set $currentrole to "">> <<set $nextrole to "">> Welcome to a Data Literacy Framework. So we can personalise your experience, what is your name? <<textbox "$personname" "Person of mystery" autofocus>> (Blurb about what this whole thing data literacy framework is and what it is for.) There are may different reasons that you might want to increase your data literacy skills. And for each person the steps they will need to take to increase these skills will be based on your current level of skills and which particular skills you want to grow. You may be looking to [[Change your role|Change role]] in the future and want to increase your skills annd capabilties to enable you to do that. You may be looking to [[Increase you Mastery in your current role|Master role]] in the future and want to increase your skills to enable you to do that. * [[Using data to make better decisions]] * [[Increasing my technical skills]] * [[Increasing my capabilityskills]] * [[Increasing my soft skills]] For a quick overview about data literacy find out [[What is Data Literacy?]]

<h3>What is Data Literacy?</h3> Data literacy is the ability to read, work with, analyse and argue with data regardless of your role, skill level, or the tools you use. * Read data–involves understanding what the data is, what it represents * Work with data–involves creating, acquiring, cleaning, and managing it * Analyse data–involves filtering, sorting, aggregating, comparing and performing other analytic operations * Argue with data –involves using data to support a larger narrative intended to communicate some message to a particular audience <h3>Why increase my data literacy?</h3> Improving data literacy hones your decision-making skills. You learn to ask the right questions of your data, interpret your findings and take informed action. If you are looking to move ot a new role in the future, increasing your data literacy will help in getting that role. <hr> <<return>>

<<set $initialchoice to "Master role">> Hi <<= $personname>>, to help recomend a set of resources that will help you improve your data literacy skills and master your current role, its important to identify what your current role actually is. To help with this we have defined a number of [[persona's]], that assist in grouping like people together, based on what they currently do with data, rather than where they sit in the organisations hierarchy or the tasks they do on a day to day basis. Are you a [[Decison Maker]] where you are presented with data or insights that have been created, and after a quick glance and a few questions to validate your understanding you make a decision and then move onto to the next priority. Are you an [[Information Consumer]] where you access visualisations and reports that other people have created for you on a regulary basis. If you have any questions you might view anoither report or visualisation or ask anotehr person to create a new one for you. Are you an [[Information Explorer]] where you explorer within the reports and visualisations that have been created for you to answer your own questions. This might involve drilling down to detailed information or slice and dicing the data to apply a different lens to uncover the answer you need. * [[Information Builder]] * [[Data Explorer]] Are you a [[Data Engineer]] where you create data pipelines and automated code which moves and chnages data on a repeatable and consistant basis. <hr> <<return>>

<<set $initialchoice to "Change role">> Hi <<= $personname>>, to help recomend a set of resources that will help you improve your data literacy skills and get you your next dream role, its important to understand your current role. To help with this we have defined a number of [[persona's]], that assist in grouping like people together, based on what they currently do with data, rather than where they sit in the orginisations hierarchy or the tasks they do on a day to day basis. Are you a [[Decison Maker]] where you are presented with data or insights that have been created, and after a quick glance and a few questions to validate your understanding you make a decision and then move onto to the next priority.

This might involve drilling down to detailed information or slice and dicing the data to apply a different lens to uncover the answer you need. * [[Information Builder]] Are you a [[Data Explorer]] where you find new data that is not currently available and munges it together to create new insights, which you share with other people. Are you an [[Data Engineer]] where you create data pipelines and automated code which moves and changes data on a repeatable and consistant basis. <hr> <<return>>

<<set $currentrole to "Information Consumer">> <<if $initialchoice is "Change role">> Ok <<= $personname>>, as a <<= $currentrole>> there are a couple of persona's which are the natural progression for you. You may want to look at moving to become a [[Information Builder|Next Role - Information Builder]]. An Information Builder is a role where you create reports and visualisatons for other people to consume. Or you may want to look at moving to become a [[Data Explorer Builder|Next Role - Data Explorer]]. A Data Explorer finds new data that is not current available and munges it together to create new insights, whihc they share with other people. <<endif>> <hr> <<return>>

<<set $currentrole to "Data Explorer">> <<if $initialchoice is "Change role">> Ok <<= $personname>>, as a <<= $currentrole>> you have a few choices on other roles you can upskill for.

Persona's are a way of describing different types of users, where they have areas of commonality. Creating personas helps understand a users' needs, experiences, behaviours and goals. To help with this we have defined a number of Persona's within the data and analytics domains, that assist in grouping like people together, based on what they currently do with data, rather than where they sit in the organisations hierarchy or the tasks they do on a day to day basis. * Decision Maker <br> A Decision Maker is typically presented with a copy of some data, may ask a question or two and then provides a decision to somebody else based on that data. * Information Consumer <br> An Information Consumer is a persona where the individual primarily accesses visualisations and reports that other people have created for them on a regulary basis. * Information Explorer <br> An Information Exploreris a persona where the individual explorers within reports and visualisations that have been created for them to answer their own questions. This might involve drilling down to detailed information or slice and dicing the data to apply a different lens to uncover the answer they need. * Information Builder <br>An Information Builder is a persona where the individual creates reports and visualisatons for other people to consume. * Data Explorer <br> A Data Explorer is a persona for an individual that finds new data that is not currently available and munges it together to create new insights, which they share with other people. * Data Engineer <br> A Data Engineer creates data pipelines and automated code which move and change data on a repeatable and consistant basis. * Data Scientist <br> <hr> <<return>>

<<set $nextrole to "Information Builder">> To move to a <<= $nextrole>> there are a few skills that you will need <<= $personname>>. <h3>Tableau Tool</h3> Your Organisation uses Tableau as its primary tool for creating new reports and visualisations. How would you say your Tableau skills are at the moment? Would you say that you are a [[Novice Tableau|Novice Skill - Tableau]] user? By [[Novice|Novice Skill - Tableau]] we mean you have heard of Tableau, run some reports in Tableau but that is about it. Would you say that you are a [[Apprentice Tableau|Apprentice Skill - Tableau]] user? By [[Apprentice|Apprentice Skill - Tableau]] we mean you have played around creating reports and visualisarions in Tableau but need quite of bit of time and googling when you have to create the next one. Or would you say that you are a [[Journeyman Tableau|Journeyman Skill - Tableau]] user? By [[Journeyman|Journeyman Skill - Tableau]] we mean you are confident using Tableau on a daily basisi but could always learn more. Or are you are a [[Tableau Master|Master Skill - Tableau]], where you are able to train and mentor other users on how to build reports aand visualisation in Tableau? <hr> There are also few capabilties that you will help you as an <<= $nextrole>> . <h3>Data Visualisation Design</h3> When creating reports and visualisation ..... * Novice * Apprentice * Journeyman * Master <hr> <<return>>
