Data Academy

Drive smarter decisions, faster innovation and greater agility. Give people the confidence and fluency to make data part of everyday culture – and deepen specialist expertise where it matters most. Delivered in partnership with Imperial.

Make the leap

Use data to your advantage 

Strengthen insights 

63% of employers say skill gaps block business transformation (WEF 2025). Our data training closes that gap, building a workforce ready to analyse, adapt, and lead change. 

Alter perspectives 

Despite 84% of CDOs not prioritising data literacy, two-thirds see it as a top challenge for AI adoption (Deloitte 2024). Our expert coaches embed a data-first mindset that turns insight into instant action. 

Beat the curve 

By 2027, 50% of CDAOs will fund data and AI literacy programs to tackle missed value from GenAI (Gartner 2024). Our expert-led learning sets your teams up for lasting success.
