Data Analytics Academy

Empowered and Inspired to Innovate!

Transition to a digital world

Today’s rapid transition to a new world is driving organizations to transform their business and prepare for ‘the future’.

However digital transformation no longer depends on the most advanced experts and data scientists – it depends on our ability to cultivate an inspired, innovative and data literate majority. Information generated from the data is the ultimate asset in modern organizations.

Employees need to understand data and communicate insights effectively. The ability to ‘understand and speak data’ has become foundational in most day-to-day jobs. Unfortunately, over 80% of CEOs worldwide face an analytical skills shortage, that impede operational efficiency, disable innovation, and result in ever-increasing costs.

PwC is committed to digital upskilling, for ourselves and our clients. Therefore, we have developed the Data Analytics Academy - driving the adoption of new tools and work methods, cultivating a change in mindset and embedding a culture of innovation.

"People are the heart of our digital transformation! This means that we need to enable them to acquire new skills, support change and embed an innovative mindset in the organisational culture."
