SAS Global Forum: where curiosity meets data literacy

In partnership with SAS.

Curiosity is an innate instinct in human beings, and it is driven by the desire to increase our expertise and stimulate our knowledge. Similarly, in companies, curiosity is linked to the desire to improve performance by targeting business objectives and creating innovation.

In recent years, the spread of digital technologies enabled new ways to stimulate knowledge and increase awareness, thanks to the astonishing amount of data we generate through interactions with technology. Data, which is then analyzed and transformed into useful information.

Here comes a new narrative based on data: Data Literacy.

I’ve been fascinated by SAS’s commitment to pursuing the democratization of this new paradigm that will accompany us in the years to come.

Indeed, the undisputed leader of analytics has provided free resources to help people build this essential skill. As stated by SAS CEO Jim Goodnight,

“SAS understands the power of data to help us understand our world, to do good and to solve problems. In our connected and data-rich society, the ability to apply and use data in everyday life is essential for everyone, not just data scientists and mathematicians.”
