Andr\u00e9 Elias, ABES takes a big step towards attracting attention and appropriating an emerging and extremely important theme. \u201cAddressing the subject of Data Literacy means focusing on the need we all have, in some way, to more easily understand and take advantage of the various Inputs we have or receive. In a Society with the exception of information, our ability to select and interpret must be perfected, starting from our children. Bringing this to our professional environment, it means saying that Companies depend not only on Technology and Processes, but on People who are actually capable of: reading, interpreting and quickly transforming the most diverse data available into useful information. We are talking about Culture.
