leaders are saying that they are doing more and we will continue to do more with data . “ We see the growth of analytics and the requirements of these skills growing across every enterprise . With SparkED we want to take the number of learners that we ’ re impacting and really exponentially scale that . It ’ s not just learners that are in the classroom , whether that ’ s a higher education programme or in secondary education , but also those learners that didn ’ t have the privilege of learning data analytics early in their career .”
Data analytics used to be reserved for just a few in the company that were data ready . But data analytics in a true datadriven organisation has to be able to be serving every decision . “ Whether it ’ s
HR , supply chain finance , operations , information security teams , marketing , sales , and so on , every one of those teams has to be able to think with data , and solve with data ,” Adams concludes .
Today , no one is excused from understanding data . “ It ’ s not just a business degree , or a data analytics degree , or a finance , or an accounting degree ,” she adds . “ Because when you ’ re a nurse , you ’ re going to be looking at data . When you are an engineer , or a marketing major or business major , you ’ re going to be looking at data . So we have to make sure , over the next couple of years , that the awareness of data analytics skills can continue to scale across these programmes , and that ’ s our mission .”
