Steps into Digital: Basic Data Literacy Skills
10 Oct 2025
This webinar is part of Data Analytics for Smarter Decisions, a nine part online workshop series designed to help businesses at every stage of their data journey, from those just starting out to those ready to explore artificial intelligence and compliance. Each session is practical, jargon free and grounded in real business use cases, ensuring participants leave with tools and knowledge they can apply immediately.
Delivered by Data Stream UK, a North Yorkshire based consultancy delivering end-to-end data and AI solutions with a strong emphasis on data literacy, analytical insight and practical implementation support for SMEs.
Data Stream was born out of a profound understanding of the challenges facing businesses in today’s data-driven landscape. They witnessed first hand how companies struggled to navigate the complexities of emerging technologies while grappling with legacy software and a shortage of internal data expertise. It became evident that there was a need for a partner who could bridge the gap between the data-driven future and the present state of businesses. Their mission is to empower businesses with data-driven solutions tailored to their unique objectives.
About this webinar
Businesses generate data, through sales, customer interactions or internal operations. Yet many aren’t confident in understanding or applying it. This session introduces what data is, where it comes from and how it can be used to support better business outcomes.
Following this session, you will be able to:
- Distinguish between different types of data and recognise their relevance in business contexts.
- Identify the main internal and external data sources within your organisation.
- Explain in plain terms how data can be applied to improve a specific business process or outcome.
