Building a High Data Fluency Information Ecosystem

Get started on your journey from data awareness to data mastery. Join IIA Expert Ryan Sousa, former CDAO at Seattle Children's Hospital, as he explores the virtuous learning cycle of data fluency—a framework that transcends mere data literacy to foster continuous growth and innovation across enterprises. This webinar is designed for organizations that recognize the critical role of data but seek to evolve beyond isolated uses and basic infrastructures, toward a state of business where data is a core strategic asset with enterprise-wide fluency.

In this session, Sousa will explore:

  • The Definition and Importance of Data Fluency: Understanding how data fluency enables organizations to efficiently exchange ideas, take action, and evaluate results, reducing the time from concept to execution.
  • Practical Frameworks and Real-World Applications: Leveraging examples from both the early days of e-commerce to modern healthcare settings, illustrating how high data fluency can transform organizational capabilities and outcomes.
  • Actionable Strategies to Enhance Data Fluency: Learn how to assess and evolve the four building blocks of a data-fluent ecosystem: data consumers, data producers, data community, and data platform, each critical to nurturing a culture of innovation and continuous improvement.
  • Overcoming Barriers to Data Fluency: Identifying common challenges and strategizing on how to mitigate them to create a robust, responsive, and resilient information ecosystem.
