DATA LITERACY


In the Cogni/ve Era everyone must be data literate

Define problems

Wrangle Data

Self-Manage Data

Choose Methods and Tools

Analyze Data

Communicate findings

Engage in Lifelong Learning


DATA JOB ROLES


!  Data Scien/sts

!  Data Engineers

!  Chief Data Officers

!  Data Policy Roles

!  Big Data Architects

Emerging & evolving Big Data job roles


What is a data scien/st?

hHp://hbr.org/2012/10/data-‐scien/st-‐the-‐sexiest-‐job-‐of-‐the-‐21st-‐century

Data Science skills demand on fire!!!


Today’s reality

It’s early days anyone who wants to call themselves a data scien(st

can and does

No consensus!

•  Is someone who applies ‘data science’ skill a data scien)st?

•  Is a business analyst a data scien)st?

• Or is a data scien)st something more?

•  Perhaps ‘team’ approaches are required?

What is a data scien/st?


The Data Engineer

hHps://www.linkedin.com/job/data-‐engineer-‐jobs

Explosive growth for this new role, BUT Few academic programs exist

Tripled in the past year!!


The Chief Data Officer

hHp://bit.ly/ibmcdostudy

Chief Data Officers understand how to use data to create strategic opportuni/es; responsible for organiza/onal data strategy & governance


Growing Demand for Data Policy Skills

hHp://jobs.walmart.com/united-‐states/legal,-‐compliance-‐and-‐ethics-‐jobs


Data skills needed elsewhere too

! Law & Government - Data law - Open Data

! Business - Business schools are aggressively tackling analy/cs, but building skills to address the much broader story of data is typically a gap

! Literacy for all (students & professionals) - Data literacy - Analy/cs literacy - Security & privacy literacy

! Field specific competency - Bio/health informa/cs is just the beginning

The Waston that competed on Jeopardy! in 2011 comprised what is now a single API—Q&A—built on five underlying technologies.

Since then, Watson has grown to a family of 28 APIs.

By the end of 2016, there will be nearly 50 Watson APIs— with more added every year.
