A Framework For Creating a Data Academy

Building a data academy is a powerful way to upskill your workforce and foster a data-driven culture within your organization. However, defining its scope, identifying who needs training, and ensuring engagement can be challenging without a structured approach. A well-planned data academy helps employees across various roles gain essential data skills, but without the right strategy, it can be difficult to maintain participation and demonstrate the program’s value.

In this session, Marcela Schrank Fialova, the Founder and Executive Coach at Human Matters, will guide you through a comprehensive framework for creating a data academy. You’ll learn how to determine the scope of your academy, identify key stakeholders for its creation, and define learning personas to target training effectively. The session will also cover strategies for promoting your academy, keeping learners engaged, and measuring the return on investment, as well as creative ways to celebrate your learners’ successes. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to scale your data training program, this session provides the blueprint you need to ensure its success.
