Why Data Literacy Is Essential - And Elusive - For Business Leaders In The AI Age
ZDNet, Tuesday, April 15th, 2025
According to the latest research from Salesforce, the majority of US business leaders lack confidence that their data strategy is aligned with their business priorities - and it's affecting their career growth.
Fewer than half of business leaders say their data strategies -- how data is collected, managed, stored, and accessed -- are completely aligned with their business priorities.
That's according to a 2025 Salesforce survey of more than 550 US senior business leaders of companies with at least 500 employees across multiple industries. The number is down 14% from 2023.
