The dbt Labs 2024 State of Analytics Engineering report highlights that stakeholder data literacy remains a problem in the modern data workplace. Data stakeholders and data professionals can both benefit from learning foundational data literacy concepts that foster their ability to reason about working with data in a business environment. In this talk, an expert from Great Expectations covers two key concepts that they've applied in their own career when framing data fundamentals: “the data supply chain” and “ML in a nutshell.”

Speaker: Rachel House Senior Developer Advocate Great Expectations

About the talk

Data fuels the modern world. Organizations increasingly leverage data to build complex ecosystems, infrastructure, and products. Whether your interest is analytics-informed decision making, training the latest model, building a data-intensive application, or something in between, the quality of your data is fundamental to your outcomes. In this introductory talk, we’ll discuss the importance of data quality, common data quality dimensions, data quality across the organization, mechanisms to assess data quality, and open source Python tooling for data quality.
