Following on from my interview with Jordan Morrow – Global Head of Data Literacy – from Qlik I have put together a list of data literacy resources. You can use these to further not only your own data literacy but to get the discussions flowing within your organisation:
I will add to this over time but please also add a comment below if you are aware of any other useful resources.

Just to add a book, I would recommend reading Data Fluency: Empowering Your Organization with Effective Data Communication by Zach Gemignani et al. http://a.co/euXhpdI
In my opinion, the data visualization design principles discussed in the book are not optimal, so I would skip this part.
Does anybody else have any recommendations for books on data literacy?

I’ve got that book but haven’t got round to it yet. Just finished a book today so might make Data Fluency my next.
