Data Literacy Training in Derby
Data literacy training for Derby organisations, teaching the habit that prevents most bad decisions — asking what a number counts before acting on it. Two departments reporting different customer figures are usually both correct and counting different things, and until somebody establishes which, the meeting is an argument rather than a decision.
Why this comes up
The problem
Three teams report the same metric with three different values and each defends their own spreadsheet.
What you get
What we deliver
- Definitions written down for the measures the organisation actually argues about
- The habit of asking what is included, excluded and over what period
- Denominators examined, since percentages hide the number they are drawn from
- Charts read critically — axes, scales and comparisons that are not comparable
- The gap between correlation and cause made concrete with your own examples
- When a difference is too small to mean anything, and how to tell

Working in Derby
East Midlands
Derby is an engineering city — aerospace, rail and automotive supply chains — so the work here skews toward integration with existing plant systems, quality and compliance workflows, and reporting that has to stand up to audit.
Most work here involves connecting shop-floor and plant systems to reporting the rest of the business can actually read, plus quality and compliance workflows that have to survive an audit.

Data Literacy Training in Derby — common questions
- Is this a technical course?
- No, and it works better when it is not. The people making decisions rarely build the reports; what they need is the ability to interrogate what they are shown, which requires clear thinking about definitions and comparisons rather than any tool at all.
- Why start with definitions?
- Because most disagreements about data are disagreements about meaning. Active customer, sale and completed order each have several defensible definitions, and organisations that never write theirs down spend years reconciling numbers that were never measuring the same thing.
- What makes a chart misleading?
- Usually the axis or the comparison rather than the data. A truncated scale turns a trivial movement into a cliff, and a year-on-year figure that ignores an acquisition compares two different companies — both of which are easy to spot once somebody has been shown what to look for.
- How does this change decisions?
- It slows the wrong ones down. A team in the habit of asking what a figure counts and whether the difference is meaningful will decline to act on a two per cent movement that is noise, and will notice when a genuine change has been buried in an average — which over a year is worth considerably more than a faster dashboard.
- Do you work with businesses across Derbyshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East Midlands, including Derby and the surrounding Derbyshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Derby businesses do you usually work with?
- Most work here involves connecting shop-floor and plant systems to reporting the rest of the business can actually read, plus quality and compliance workflows that have to survive an audit. Beyond that we work across Advanced Manufacturing, Aerospace, Rail Engineering, Automotive and Logistics.
- Do you cover the areas around Derby?
- Yes — we work throughout East Midlands, including Nottingham, Leicester, Loughborough, Birmingham. Derby is an urban area of roughly 260,000+, and we take on work across the wider Derbyshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
