Crucially, it also examines the most common challenges to becoming data driven, from a foundational skills gap to issues with leadership and strategy and the impact of organizational culture.

About the authors
Jordan Morrow is known as the "Godfather of Data Literacy", having helped pioneer the field by building one of the world's first data literacy programs. He is the founder and CEO of Bodhi Data, served as the Chair of the Advisory Board for The Data Literacy Project and has helped companies and organizations around the world, including the United Nations, build and understand data literacy. Morrow is the author of three books: Be Data Literate, Be Data Driven, and Be Data Analytical, all published by Kogan Page. He is based near Salt Lake City, Utah.
Jordan Morrow has done it again. This flows on perfectly from his first book, Be Data Literate, and creates a realistic and achievable pathway for organizations to become data driven. And, of course, at the center of it is people-a man after my own data heart! I hope that wasn't a spoiler alert...
