QA one is focusing on solving the bigger issue of improving data literacy in organisations. Everyone uses data in some form within their role and more and more people are interacting with teams we would more traditionally recognise as ‘data teams’ such as data scientists, analytical experts or data protection officers for instance. By improving the basic understanding of what data is; terms, definitions and the processes around it enables an understanding of the language of data. Getting more people working together to leverage a valuable corporate asset.
