Today, possessing fundamental skills in market research isn’t just a good to have; it’s essential! Don’t believe me? A recent global study by Tableau and Forrester found that 82% of managers and business leaders “expect basic data literacy from employees in every department." And yet, only 40% of employees report having the “data skills they're expected to have.”
The truth is, in today's world, everyone needs strong foundations in data literacy. But if you want to get ahead, you need more than foundational skills and knowledge. You need expertise!
