Insightful Governance: Data Literacy for Leaders
The Data Literacy for Leaders Program is designed to meet the growing need for data ready leaders of government organizations.
As an experienced public servant, you know how to achieve your department’s mission and get things done on behalf of the American public. This course will help you build on what you already do well to become a data-ready leader, making informed decisions, driving actionable insights and fostering a data-driven culture within your agency.
Program Overview
The Data Literacy for Leaders program:
- Provides you with data strategy tools for leading effectively in government
- Empowers you to make impactful, data-driven decisions
- Offers opportunities to develop new relationships with other leaders who share a passion for making government work better
As a Data Literacy for Leaders participant, you will:
- Learn to lead through the creation and implementation of data strategy
- Delve into ethical data considerations
- Build skills to communicate with data practitioners
- Develop the capacity to understand data visualization
- Harness the power of data to drive results
During the program, you will engage with experts, fellow participants and a course case study. By the end of the program, you will have a deeper understanding of data and data-driven leadership.
Program Structure
- Cohort-based learning: Participants are placed in cohorts of 25-30 government leaders led by an experienced facilitator.
- Sessions: The Data Literacy for Leaders program consists of three half-day virtual sessions. You are expected to prepare for and attend every session and complete any pre-work or assigned reading.
