I've been thinking a lot lately about how to help organisations use data for strategy and develop a strategy for data. I've written a blog on where I think might be a good place to start (feedback very welcome!) jamesjbowles.com/2023/02/20/…

Data infrastructure literacy is important because it helps us to support individuals to not just read, interpret, and use data effectively (data literacy) but to understand the “wider socio-technical infrastructures through which data is created, stored and analysed”
