Datatonic Achieves the Google Cloud Generative AI – Services Partner Specialization

Providing Access to Energy with UNDP

While 90% of business leaders acknowledge GenAI&#8217;s potential to enhance various roles (<a href="https://www.insight.com/content/dam/insight-web/en_US/pdfs/insight/beyond-hypotheticals--understanding-the-real-possibilities-of-generative-ai.pdf">Insight, 2024</a>), three core challenges remain to realizing business value: 
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">The Paradox of Choice: The overwhelming number of potential GenAI applications has made it increasingly difficult to pinpoint high-impact use cases aligned to the business’ strategic objectives.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Innovation Paralysis: The lightning-fast advancements in technology is causing organizational paralysis to manage novelty, against complexity and risk. </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Quick to experiment, hard to scale: The rapid evolution of GenAI has left a gap in industry best practices that maximize business ROI and minimize risk (such as model inaccuracy and security threats).</li>
</ol>
Based on the expertise gained by delivering 70+ Generative AI projects over the past year, Datatonic has developed five Generative AI Agents to address these challenges and help businesses transform key business workstreams.

Datatonic Wins Four 2024 Google Cloud Partner of the Year Awards

Earlier this week, Datatonic and Cognify Search’s Stacked Pathways hosted our Inspiring Women in Data and Analytics panel. Our panelists were five women data leaders: Naomi Johnson, Director of Data Platform at Lyst, Priya O’Shea, Partner Sales Manager at Google Cloud, Jessica Franks, Senior Engineering Manager at Not On The High Street and Rachel Christian, Senior Manager at GoCardless, with Amber Cella, Co-Founder at Datatonic Academy, hosting the panel.
They discussed their career journeys as women, and how they overcame common challenges in their industries. Today, we share their key messages and responses to frequently asked questions from the audience. 
The tech industry, often hailed for its innovation and advancement, has long grappled with gender disparities. Despite progress, women in tech still face numerous challenges, ranging from assumptions about their expertise to the burden of imposter syndrome. Hear from our panelists about challenges they faced, and how they overcame them.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-23582" src="https://cms.datatonic.com/app/uploads/2024/03/IMG_2070-300x200.jpg" alt="Women in Data and Analytics Panel" width="600" height="400" srcset="https://cms.datatonic.com/app/uploads/2024/03/IMG_2070-300x200.jpg 300w, https://cms.datatonic.com/app/uploads/2024/03/IMG_2070-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://cms.datatonic.com/app/uploads/2024/03/IMG_2070-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cms.datatonic.com/app/uploads/2024/03/IMG_2070-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cms.datatonic.com/app/uploads/2024/03/IMG_2070-2048x1365.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" />
<h4>Assumptions and Bias in Expertise</h4>
One recurring theme of the panel highlighted a prevalent issue: the assumption that women are less senior or knowledgeable. 
“With a consulting background, I’ve had experiences in the past where myself and male colleagues have been presenting and even as the most senior person there, questions were directed to male colleagues.” &#8211; Rachel Christian, Senior Manager, GoCardless.
This biased behavior not only undermines women&#8217;s expertise but also starts a cycle where they must make a significant effort to simply prove themselves worthy of respect and recognition.
Jess Franks, Senior Engineering Manager at Not On The High Street, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the need for women to go above and beyond to prove their capabilities. The transition between managers poses a particular challenge, as preconceived notions can overshadow qualifications that would have been evident in job interviews and formal hiring processes. 
Our speakers stressed the importance of overcoming these biases, urging women to seize opportunities presented to them and to not be afraid to assert their worth, by volunteering to answer questions and proving their knowledge.
<h4>Navigating Male-Dominated Spaces</h4>
Priya&#8217;s narrative shed light on the isolation experienced by women in tech, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds. 
“I’ve often found myself in a room as the only female, only brown person and only person under the age of fifty. It can feel uncomfortable not being around people with similar backgrounds and having to mention or subtly show how long you’ve been there instead of people thinking you’re the new intern.” &#8211; Priya O’Shea, Partner Sales Manager, Google Cloud
As the only female or minority in the room, it can be easy to feel additional scrutiny and the need to validate your presence. This emphasizes the importance of intentional networking and seeking support from communities and people in similar positions. By actively engaging with peers and mentors, women can create meaningful connections vital for professional growth, and become more confident in these situations. 
<h4>Confronting Imposter Syndrome</h4>
Imposter syndrome, a pervasive challenge for women in tech, undermines confidence and stifles progress. Naomi Johnson, Director of Data Platform at Lyst, reflected on her career journey, acknowledging the need to combat self-doubt and embrace your achievements. This can be done by maintaining a strong internal dialogue and keeping a record of positive outcomes at work to remind yourself of your success and abilities. 
A Hewlett Packard internal report found that men are significantly less likely to self-reject when applying to jobs; men apply for a job when they meet only 60% of the qualifications, but women are only likely to apply only if they meet 100% of them.
“I spent so many years being terrified and feeling like I got lucky, thinking that if people look hard enough they’d see I’m not qualified. I didn’t get lucky, I’m smart, I earned my way here. Enough of the imposter syndrome.” &#8211; Rachel Christian, Senior Manager, GoCardless.
Rachel&#8217;s advice to her younger self resonates with many women battling imposter syndrome. She urges them to recognize their worth and reject the notion of luck by reminding yourself that even if you are the only woman in the room, you earnt your way there. By embracing their intelligence and placing emphasis on accomplishments, women can shatter the idea of self-doubt and thrive in their careers with confidence.
<h4>Embracing Opportunities and Growth</h4>
One of the key themes that emerged was the need to seize opportunities and embrace growth, despite fears or setbacks. Whether it&#8217;s confronting public speaking or pursuing new endeavors, there is transformative power in stepping outside of your comfort zone. 
“I hate public speaking but I’ve been putting myself forward for things ever since I was first asked to speak. I still feel nervous when I do it, but a little bit less, and I’ve met so many amazing people through doing it. When it scares you it’s probably what you should be trying to do.” &#8211; Naomi Johnson, Director of Data Platform, Lyst
Priya&#8217;s advice highlights the importance of perseverance and self-assurance, reminding women that career paths are not linear and comparing ourselves to our colleagues or friends is not always useful. 
“It&#8217;s not always helpful to compare yourself to other people. If it sounds good to you, go and do it. If you’re passionate about it or have an interest in it, your ability to succeed will be so much greater. Stop worrying about what you’re leaving behind and focus on what will make you happy. You have to enjoy what you do.” &#8211; Priya O’Shea, Partner Sales Manager, Google.
<h4>Conclusion</h4>
Our speakers provided many perspectives on the challenges and triumphs of women in the tech industry, but the same recurring themes shone through. Despite facing biases, isolation, and self-doubt, these women navigate their careers with resilience. Through mentorship, community support, and self-advocacy, they pave the way for future generations of women in tech, challenging norms and fostering a more inclusive and equitable industry.

Coding Confidence: Inspiring Women in Data and Analytics

Every day, over 1 billion people globally use streaming services to find their next favorite movies, TV shows, and music albums. Cineverse wanted to take the searching experience to the next level. 
The growing abundance of content and content sources is becoming overwhelming for audiences; users now spend an average of <a href="https://www.nielsen.com/insights/2023/data-driven-personalization-2023-state-of-play-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">10-and-a-half minutes</a> searching for something to watch, with 20% abandoning their search and doing something else instead.
With this in mind, Cineverse, Datatonic, and Google Cloud set out to develop an AI-powered search and discovery tool designed to make deciding what to watch as entertaining as the movie itself. 
Its new &#8220;artificial intelligence-based video advisor&#8221; will be launched initially with the persona known simply as &#8220;Ava.&#8221; The primary persona, Ava, was developed to be the ultimate movie nerd: Part critic. Part drinking buddy. All cinephile. Future updates will involve building out a collection of personas to suit different users&#8217; tastes and moods. 
The Ava persona, including its personality and language, was meticulously created by Cineverse, and brought to life through a combination of prompt engineering and LLM fine tuning. 
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-23516" src="https://cms.datatonic.com/app/uploads/2024/03/Cineverse-Icons-300x169.png" alt="Cineverse Generative AI Icons" width="625" height="352" srcset="https://cms.datatonic.com/app/uploads/2024/03/Cineverse-Icons-300x169.png 300w, https://cms.datatonic.com/app/uploads/2024/03/Cineverse-Icons-1024x576.png 1024w, https://cms.datatonic.com/app/uploads/2024/03/Cineverse-Icons-768x432.png 768w, https://cms.datatonic.com/app/uploads/2024/03/Cineverse-Icons-1536x864.png 1536w, https://cms.datatonic.com/app/uploads/2024/03/Cineverse-Icons-2048x1152.png 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px" />
“Built entirely on Google Cloud, cineSearch leverages a sophisticated system of multiple Large Language Models that guides users through a highly personalized user journey to deliver content recommendations tailored to individual preferences. Under the hood, Ava’s Large Language Models and semantic retrieval methods recognize both highly specific, such as genre, decade and actors, and nuanced user intents, such as cinematic mood and atmosphere, as well as combinations of these. 
A collection of guardrails and Google Cloud security best practices ensure the solution is safe, robust and ethical. A monitoring and alerting system scans both user inputs for malicious attacks, inappropriate and off-topic messages, and LLM outputs for unintended behaviors.
The heart of the technology lies in creating a natural and engaging interaction that is designed to ensure the users feel comfortable and empowered throughout their discovery process. We are confident that cineSearch can satisfy even the most eclectic cinematic tastes.” &#8211; Valentin Cojocaru, Head of Data Science, Datatonic
To ensure cineSearch fulfills its purpose, it was developed with crucial features, such as guardrails and LLM best practices to reduce risk for Cineverse by avoiding unintended replies from the chatbot and keeping the conversation on the topic of movies. cineSearch will also provide direct links to where its recommendations can be purchased or streamed.
&#8220;Effective search and discovery is currently the most pressing problem for users of streaming services today,&#8221; says Tony Huidor, Chief Technology Officer &amp; Chief Operating Officer of Cineverse. &#8220;We first developed cineSearch as an answer to our own problem. Using Google Cloud&#8217;s Vertex AI platform, we now have the ability to expand this feature well beyond our initial expectations. We feel this is a great example of leveraging the power of AI to not only create better user experiences, but to also help aid in the discovery of great films that fans may not have otherwise found.&#8221;
&#8220;Generative AI has the potential to fundamentally transform the media industry, fueling a new era of cloud-enabled capabilities that can significantly improve the consumer experience,&#8221; said Anil Jain, Global Managing Director of Strategic Consumer Industries at Google Cloud. &#8220;By leveraging Google Cloud&#8217;s leading gen AI capabilities, cineSearch can further personalize and streamline the user experience, providing viewers a vastly improved way to discover new content, with relevant recommendations for movies and television shows at their fingertips.&#8221;
The partnership will enable Cineverse to rapidly embark on new data + AI initiatives, leading to improved customer experience, and operational efficiencies.
“Cineverse is thrilled to partner with Google and Datatonic for the cineSearch project,” Huidor says. “We needed all hands on-deck to do something that’s never been done before. Internally, we’ve joked that it was our ‘Avengers, assemble’ moment – bringing together the best in both streaming and GenerativeAI, and I’m excited for everyone to see what we’ve been working on.”

Datatonic Partners with Cineverse to Deliver Generative AI Movie Recommendations

Author: Thomas Udale, Senior ML Trainer
Prompt engineering has quickly become a hot topic in the world of Large Language Models (LLMs) for a good reason; without it, the models are much less capable of generating relevant outputs. Prompt engineering gives users and enterprises the tools to tune both the knowledge base of the model and the output it produces. In this blog, we explore the relevance of prompt engineering and look at how consumers and enterprise users can improve LLM output to create more value with Generative AI. 
<h3>What is prompt engineering?</h3>
<a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/featured-insights/mckinsey-explainers/what-is-prompt-engineering" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Prompt engineering</a> is “the practice of designing inputs for generative AI tools that will produce optimal outputs”. This allows businesses to provide the LLM with additional information and context, that improves the quality and relevance of its responses to questions or tasks.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-23474" src="https://cms.datatonic.com/app/uploads/2024/02/Prompt-Engineering-300x143.png" alt="Prompt Engineering Example" width="773" height="368" srcset="https://cms.datatonic.com/app/uploads/2024/02/Prompt-Engineering-300x143.png 300w, https://cms.datatonic.com/app/uploads/2024/02/Prompt-Engineering-1024x486.png 1024w, https://cms.datatonic.com/app/uploads/2024/02/Prompt-Engineering-768x365.png 768w, https://cms.datatonic.com/app/uploads/2024/02/Prompt-Engineering-1536x730.png 1536w, https://cms.datatonic.com/app/uploads/2024/02/Prompt-Engineering.png 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 773px) 100vw, 773px" />
Traditional (if two years is long enough for traditions) prompt engineering focused on changing the user prompt to change the content, style, and format of model responses. Adding in context, asking for bullet points, or even adding a few examples of prompt-response pairs are all ways in which we can change the model output.
These are time-efficient methods for improving the quality of response by bringing output closer to our implicit expectations. We can even use prompts to guide the model into better logical reasoning by explaining the required thinking process, through <a href="https://www.promptingguide.ai/techniques/cot" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting</a>. 
<h3>Why do we need prompt engineering?</h3>
The key idea in traditional prompt engineering is to better leverage the internal knowledge in the models, gleaned from billions of training sentences. The models have internalized a great number of patterns from this training data, including any biases, false information, and inappropriate language! Guiding the model to replicate patterns closer to our desired output is the end goal of traditional prompt engineering.

Training LLMs is difficult. It required vast quantities of data, data centers full of GPUs and TPUs whirring away for days on end, as well as strong technical knowledge requirements around networking to move data and coordinate hardware for training. 
This is why larger companies, such as Google have produced many of the top-performing models of the last few years. This also means that they have control over the data that is fed into the models.
<h3>The history of LLMs and prompt engineering</h3>
Looking at the context window of LLM models helps us to understand why prompt engineering is now so relevant. In 2017, an early LLM, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BERT_(language_model)" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BERT</a>, had a context window of 512 tokens. That meant you could feed roughly 500 words into your model at once. This is a big limitation that would be overcome as models became ever larger. 
The largest models now have context windows of over 1 million tokens, which means you can feed novels into them. This has also opened the door to bringing in external knowledge to an LLM via the prompt. 
<h3>The impact of prompt engineering</h3>
Techniques such as retrieval augmented generation (RAG) allow models to bring in relevant information from external sources into the prompt, where the model can be asked to make sense of and use the new text. 
Without having to retrain the model (a time-consuming, expensive process), enterprises can leverage their own unstructured data to improve LLM output. This is the real step forward in prompt engineering. Expanding the set of patterns the model has access to, with information particularly relevant to your task is a vital way to bring enterprise use cases, such as chatbots, knowledge workers, and analytics assistants, to life. 
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
To summarise, prompt engineering broadly falls into two categories. Firstly, to make better use of the internalized patterns from the training data. Second, to help bring in external knowledge from company documentation, enhancing the patterns that the model can use to generate responses. With prompt engineering, users can receive more relevant and useful outputs from LLMs, increasing efficiency and giving them the information they need faster.

Prompt Engineering 101: Using GenAI Effectively

To remain competitive, businesses strive to stay ahead by embracing cloud technologies and optimizing their data infrastructure. A successful data migration to Google Cloud can lead to many benefits, such as increased efficiency, higher team satisfaction, and unlock new streams of revenue with advanced analytics and AI. 
In this blog, we’ll look at data migration, shedding light on the common challenges that organizations face. From handling skills gaps when <a href="https://datatonic.com/events/driving-analytics-adoption-with-admiral-insurance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">adopting the new platform</a> to addressing security concerns and mitigating downtime, each data migration stage presents unique hurdles that impact its overall success. We’ll look at how to overcome or avoid these challenges and how Datatonic’s Turbo Data Migration Framework ensures a seamless data migration.  

&nbsp;
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-23450" src="https://cms.datatonic.com/app/uploads/2024/02/Turbo-Data-Migration-Framework-300x226.png" alt="" width="700" height="527" srcset="https://cms.datatonic.com/app/uploads/2024/02/Turbo-Data-Migration-Framework-300x226.png 300w, https://cms.datatonic.com/app/uploads/2024/02/Turbo-Data-Migration-Framework-1024x772.png 1024w, https://cms.datatonic.com/app/uploads/2024/02/Turbo-Data-Migration-Framework-768x579.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" />
&nbsp;
<h3>1. Skill Gaps</h3>
As data migration involves transferring data from one system to another, it often requires <a href="https://datatonic.com/insights/building-data-fluency-throughout-your-business/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expertise in both the source and target systems</a>, as well as a comprehensive understanding of the data structures and formats involved. 
In this complex process, the absence of teams skilled in these systems can lead to various complications. Without individuals proficient in data mapping, extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) processes, businesses may encounter difficulties in preserving data integrity, ensuring accuracy, and mitigating potential data quality issues. 
Furthermore, a lack of proficiency in data security and compliance may expose companies to risks, such as data breaches or regulatory non-compliance. 
Bridging these skill gaps requires a multidisciplinary approach, focusing on upskilling, such as through co-development or <a href="https://datatonic.academy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ongoing training</a> during the migration to ensure everyone has the skills required to leverage the new platform. 
“Datatonic embraces a collaborative approach, taking our clients&#8217; teams on the migration journey with us. By the project’s conclusion, we aim to ensure we leave behind a high-performing team, well-equipped to handle the maintenance of a state-of-the-art cloud platform.” &#8211; Tom Pindar, Business Intelligence Lead 
&nbsp;
<h3>2. Setting unrealistic expectations</h3>
Setting unrealistic expectations and timelines can pose a significant challenge during data migration. Eager to get onto a new cloud platform, businesses may underestimate the complexity involved in transferring large volumes of data between systems, leading to overly optimistic expectations regarding the duration and seamless execution of the migration. 
Unrealistic timelines can result in rushed decision-making, and overlooking crucial steps such as data validation, testing, and troubleshooting. Down the line, this may cause data corruption or data loss, or more downtime, creating frustration among end users.
“We have witnessed first-hand the repercussions of setting unrealistic expectations reverberate across projects, manifesting in budget overruns, compromised quality, and employee burnout. These three consequences are deeply intertwined: a hurried attempt to adhere to budget constraints often leads to compromises in quality, while the strain of unrealistic deadlines diminishes team morale. Embracing a realistic outlook on project complexity and timelines will not only ensure the delivery of a high-quality product but also motivate and engage a workforce, yielding long-term benefits for the company.”  &#8211; Tom Pindar, Business Intelligence Lead 
To overcome this challenge, it is crucial to establish transparent communication channels, educate stakeholders about the intricacies of data migration, and conduct thorough assessments to accurately estimate the time and resources required for a successful and smooth transition.
With Datatonic’s Turbo Data Migration Framework and years of experience, we have developed a repeatable approach. This includes a comprehensive planning phase and templates that make it easy to understand the timeframe and budget requirements for a successful migration. 
&nbsp;
<h3>3. Not having a clear understanding of business value</h3>
Without a well-defined understanding of specific business objectives and the value that data migration is expected to bring, businesses risk investing resources into a process that may not align with strategic goals. 
This lack of clarity can result in misguided priorities, leading to the migration of irrelevant or obsolete data, and may overlook opportunities for strategic data projects or transformations that could enhance business insights, such as advanced analytics with <a href="https://datatonic.com/partners/looker/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Looker</a>, or advanced AI + ML. 
Key stakeholders must be engaged early in the process to conduct a comprehensive analysis of business requirements and establish clear metrics for success, to ensure that the data migration aligns closely with the overall business objectives and delivers tangible value to the organization.
&nbsp;
<h3>4. Minimizing security risks</h3>
Addressing security concerns is paramount in ensuring a seamless migration without compromising sensitive information. To mitigate these challenges, businesses must implement robust security measures, including encryption protocols, an <a href="https://datatonic.com/insights/secure-efficient-access-control-plan-bigquery/">access control plan</a>, and comprehensive auditing mechanisms. 
Additionally, thorough planning and risk assessments should be conducted before starting any data migration project, identifying potential areas of vulnerability and devising strategies to address them. By prioritizing security in the data migration process, organizations can safeguard valuable information and maintain the trust of stakeholders and end users of the platform. 
“A single breach of security can have far-reaching consequences, impacting not only the organization directly but also its partners and customers. Datatonic has vast experience in implementing Google Cloud&#8217;s wide range of security tools, including but not limited to encryption, identity and access management, threat detection, and compliance controls. These features are designed to address the most pressing security concerns, while providing scalability and flexibility to adapt to changing needs.”  &#8211; Tom Pindar, Business Intelligence Lead 
&nbsp;
<h3>5. Ensuring high data quality</h3>
Inaccurate, incomplete, or inconsistent data can lead to a multitude of problems, impacting decision-making, customer experience, and overall business efficiency. These issues are key drivers for migration in the first place. 
During migration, data may encounter compatibility issues between old and new systems, resulting in data quality degradation. As well as this, duplicate records, missing information, or formatting discrepancies can arise, requiring meticulous attention to detail and comprehensive data-cleansing strategies.
Organizations must invest time and resources in profiling, cleaning, and validating data to ensure that the migrated information meets the highest standards of accuracy and reliability. By addressing data quality issues head-on, businesses can optimize the benefits of migration, enhance operational performance, and make informed decisions based on new trustworthy data. This can then be enhanced with analytics and visualization, using tools such as <a href="https://datatonic.com/partners/looker/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Looker</a>. One example of this is ASOS, which uses BigQuery and Looker as its <a href="https://datatonic.com/case-studies/marketing-analytics-asos/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">marketing analytics platform</a>.
&nbsp;
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
Migrating to Google Cloud can unlock rapid value for your business, providing better access to crucial data to inform decision-making. It also helps to prepare businesses for advanced analytics and AI to further increase efficiency and enhance customer experiences, opening the door for Generative AI. By understanding the challenges of data migration, companies can plan ahead to prevent any issues.

Maximize the Value of GenAI: Register to Prompt Like a Pro

Data is one of the most important assets in a business. Data fluency is about being able to describe and interact with your data to bring value to the business, accurately and efficiently. Currently, only <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/quantifying-the-uk-data-skills-gap/quantifying-the-uk-data-skills-gap-full-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">58% of businesses</a> think that their organisation has sufficient data skills to meet their current and future needs. Without fluency, data remains an untapped resource, and decision-making across the business is limited. To find out more, we spoke to Data Science + ML Trainer, Tom Udale.
<h4>Part 1: What is data fluency?</h4>
What do we mean when we talk about data fluency and why is it important?
“The first main part is describing data; employees should be able to identify the data within their area of the organisation and also be able to understand fundamental statistics about their data. And the second main area is interacting with that data. Employees should be able to identify issues with that data and know how to resolve them (or who to ask!)”
“This also means employees should be able to manipulate data to answer business questions and suggest ways to use their data to technical teams.”
While technical teams need to understand and be able to explore their data, for truly data-driven businesses, this also applies to business users.
&nbsp;
Does data fluency need to be business-wide?
“Data science teams don’t have all the business knowledge of users. Each employee will have specific knowledge about their area of expertise, which allows them to identify opportunities within data.
The amount of data in an organisation is massive! A small team of analysts and data scientists won’t be able to keep track of all the data generated in a company, so having active data citizens is vital.”
This means that business users will be able to identify innovative and realistic opportunities. If business users aren’t aware of what can be done with data, they won’t raise it with the technical teams. Equally, users need to be aware of what makes a good data opportunity, either for analytics, advanced machine learning or AI.
<h4>Part 2: How to build data fluency</h4>
What are the challenges to building data fluency?
&nbsp;
Building data fluency is a challenge that needs to be approached strategically and with best practices in mind. Here are four key attributes of successful data fluency development: 
1. Large-scale learning
Data fluency is a programme which needs to upskill whole organisations, which often have different schedules and restrictions on time. With proper planning, entire organisations can be prepared to use data effectively.
2. Specialized
The programme should be specific to different departments (Business, HR, Finance), with tailored use cases and exercises to show real-life examples and prepare employees with the most required skills for their role. 
3. At the right level
The programme should not focus too much, or spend too much time on technical implementation. Rather, it should focus on identifying business value, and understanding how data fluency can be used to make a difference.
4. Continuous training + upskilling
Instead of a one-off session, the programme should enable new employees on an ongoing basis, with a rolling programme to facilitate continuous improvement and skill retention.
&nbsp;
How can training solve your fluency shortfall?
“Datatonic Academy can align training to business objectives around data specific to your business. Training can be further tailored to each business unit, with relevant examples and exercises, and can be delivered in both an on-demand or instructor-lead format allowing for flexibility around users&#8217; other commitments”.
Furthermore, we can provide materials for ongoing in-house training, as well as create “super-users” within the organisation who can upskill colleagues, including new joiners.
<h4>Part 3: Leveraging data fluency to create AI + ML innovation in your business</h4>
It’s important to consider, once your team has been trained and upskilled: how can businesses measure a successful data fluency programme? And what is the impact we’ll see in the long run? 
There are three main areas that businesses who immerse themselves in a successful data fluency programme can expect to see:
&nbsp;
1. Data Opportunities
With a strong data fluency programme in place, you would see more opportunities for analytics and ML to come to the technical team. This will lead to higher productivity and efficiency
2. Higher quality data
As business users who interact with datasets across the organisation grow in fluency, they will be able to identify issues with data and help technical teams resolve problems.
3. Data-first culture
If the entire organisation is aware of the value of data, and how that can be realised, then business challenges of all types will be addressed with the relevant data at hand. This means faster and more accurate decision-making throughout your company.
&nbsp;
How can training accelerate your ML workflow and generate value for your business?
“Training doesn’t just have an impact at the foundational and cultural level within an organisation, realising the potential of AI, machine learning and generative AI all require a base level of knowledge, along with continuous upskilling and training.”
Strong data fluency and data foundations make it much easier for people to first identify new ways of using their data, and how this can be done with AI + ML, and then much easier to get started as the data is ready to use.
&nbsp;
Conclusion
Datatonic Academy can provide training at all levels, from fluency to state-of-the-art ML techniques, from experimentation to <a href="https://datatonic.com/events/mlops-101-ml-at-scale/">MLOps</a> and from on-premises to the cloud.
