The present and future of MERL is data driven, as is the whole of International Development. Without data literate organizations, the bleeding-edge approaches that unlock our data and insights will fail, or at best be utilized by a fraction of the development community. This round-table discussion of technologists from different parts of the development community will discuss what it takes to see data skills and knowledge become pervasive across organizations big and small. Not everyone has to be a data scientist, but we need to raise the knowledge level of all development staff to really maximize the power of data.ding
