Having written the book on "Becoming Data Literate," I am delighted to now be responsible for our Academy proposition to help organisations, their data leaders and teams to do just that. Key aspects of my role: * Aligning our product line to the key pillars of the DataIQ Way; * Engaging with our membership and supporting the delivery of our programme; * Developing new products alongside @petergaldies; * Evangelising on the importance of data literacy to drive adoption of data and change behaviours, such as decision-making and process design.

Formed in 2011, DataIQ is an award-winning membership organisation for data and analytics leaders and their teams in global, FTSE 100, large and mid-market enterprises.  Our core purpose is to help members build great businesses through creating significant and measurable value from the intelligent use of data, analytics and technology. Our difference is that we recognise people and culture as being at the heart of successful data organisations. We focus on building communication, engagement and business partnering skills between data offices and their stakeholders, through membership, workshops and bespoke data academies. Together we connect, educate and support our members to drive up data literacy within businesses and establish a high-performance data culture for our member organisations. At DataIQ we also work hard to make a broader contribution to the industry. We are committed to elevating the importance of the data and analytics profession and have an over-riding mission to get a data (IQ) expert onto every Board. We are making real progress with high-profile recognition programmes including the DataIQ 100, the first fully-curated list of the most influential people in data and analytics - recognition in the annual DataIQ 100 has become a true marker of professional ability. Also, the highly-contested DataIQ Awards similarly confer status on the individuals, organisations and activities that are selected as winners each year. We are championing the importance of data literacy through all organisations and data for good programmes to benefit businesses, their teams, the economy, people well-being and society more generally. We are excited by the impact this is having already.
