Welcome Friend,
You are not alone.
The purpose of Common Data Sense is to share thoughts, ideas, and more that will provide clear and simple ways of understanding the data around you.
“Data sense” is a lot like learning to play an instrument. Sure it’s hard when you first start – but with someone to help you discover the tempo, you’ll be jamming in no time!
Simply put, let’s make music…. I mean, data, together.

The DNA of every good business is you!

Every company, department and industry has its own data competence requirements, so there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to data.
To become data-driven, companies need to focus on data and create a culture where data literacy is accepted. Just as the end user should know what “data literacy” is, executives must also ensure data is accessible with no language barriers or gaps in interpretation between departments.
Easier said than done, which is why we started Common Data Sense with our common goal to help make data approachable for everyone by providing tips, tricks, and resources to help other people like us looking for a
simpler way to understand the world of data that surrounds us all.
