Data Leadership Skills Diagnostic

Data storytelling skills for executives have never been more important. Test your data leadership skills with this free tool. Identify potential gaps and map a custom learning journey to hone your effectiveness as a data leader.

You and your organization have access to more data than ever before. But reading a dashboard is different than understanding and acting on its meaning. That’s because data leadership requires robust analytical skills and deft framing to reveal potential opportunities, emerging risks, or tangible business results from raw data.

Moreover, data always needs an adept storyteller to help it come to life.

Most of us begin our careers as curious explorers who can parse data to some degree. Along the way, strategic advisors will sometimes help explain the context and nuances behind a data trend and offer possible next steps. But in today’s data-rich landscape, knowing how to inspire others and drive change through data storytelling is essential for any leader.

You may have some (or all!) of these skills already. But to grow as a data storyteller, it helps to know where you may need some additional support. That’s why we’ve created this free tool to test your data leadership skills and provide detailed diagnostics for improvement.
