Build confidence. Shift culture. Unlock data’s real value.
Data literacy isn’t about knowing data. It’s about knowing what to do with it. We can help your people use data and AI confidently, responsibly and effectively every day.
- Follow a tried and tested approach
- Flexible models that fit your people, not the other way around
- See data confidence grow right in front of you
Make literacy and culture the drivers of performance
Most data programmes focus on tools and technology. We focus on people.
At Ortecha, we make data and AI make sense for everyone. We make it clear, practical and relevant to real people and real business decisions.
Our literacy programmes are designed to build confidence and connection, not confusion and fatigue. When your teams understand data, they don’t just use it – they trust it, share it and make smarter calls that move your business forward.
Why does it matter?
Everyone wants to be data-driven. But too many organisations start with the tech and forget the humans.
You can buy every platform out there, but if your people aren’t confident, those investments stall. The truth is, the hardest part of data transformation isn’t the data — it’s behaviour.
It’s when people feel supported and capable, that data and AI stop being intimidating and start being empowering.
That’s when innovation happens. That’s when culture changes.
Data Literacy & Culture initiatives are for you if you want to:
- Embed data and AI fluency across all levels of your organisation
- Nurture a confident workforce making informed, strategic decisions.
- Cut through jargon and make data and AI accessible
- Embed responsible, ethical use of data and AI
- Make data a natural part of every day work
- Get people genuinely excited about what's possible
- Turn data literacy and culture into measurable business advantages
Our approach to Data Literacy & Culture
Data & AI literacy isn’t just a work skill anymore. It’s a life skill. That’s why our approach puts people in focus, as much as the tech.
We build data literacy programmes using our Engage, Enable, Embed model. It connects communication, capability and culture, so confidence becomes part of everyday work. No generic playbooks and no off-the-shelf templates.
Sowing data curiosity through storytelling
A client project we’re proud of.
We helped a UK bank spark interest in data across its people - one short story at a time.
After three years of transforming its data capabilities, this bank had made real progress behind the scenes. But for most employees, “data” still felt abstract and complicated. The Learning, Comms & Culture team wanted to change that to make data accessible, engaging and relevant to everyday work. We created a set of bite-sized videos that could capture attention and build understanding in just a few minutes.
The impact:
- Made data feel human: The bank got a library of story-led videos. Using simple language, humour and relatable examples they got people talking about data.
- Brought everyone in: People saw how data fits into their day-to-day roles, sparking deeper curiosity and conversations across the business.
- Left a lasting mark: The series became part of the bank’s data literacy programme, raised the profile of the data team and showed that learning about data doesn’t have to be dull.
