    Jan 5 2026
    Title: Stop Chasing Data Literacy. Build Business Literacy Instead. (Tristan Burns)

    Weekly Newsletter for Aspiring + Early Career Analysts: https://bit.ly/4pjUoz9

    ​​What if the reason your work isn’t being used… isn’t your analysis?What if it’s the gap between data language and business language, and the uncomfortable truth that data teams are often closer to dashboards than decisions? In this episode, Tristan Burns, data leadership coach and former global head of data for Pizza Hut’s digital business, explains why “data strategy” is often pointless without business strategy, and how leaders can shift their teams from reactive reporting to driving commercial outcomes. We unpack the leadership skills nobody trains you for, the hidden job market and networking “insurance,” and why the most underrated career advantage in analytics isn’t technical…it’s judgment. This one is a must-listen if you’re quietly ambitious and ready to become the person people trust.

    Topics:
    • What you’re getting wrong about “data literacy”
    • What you need instead: business literacy
    • What to do when no one can explain the business strategy
    • How to stop building “data strategy” in a vacuum
    • How to move from service desk to strategic partner
    • What to do when opinions clash with data at scale
    • How to grow faster by borrowing from other industries
    • What you need to stop micromanaging (and start leading)
    • How to treat networking like career insurance
    • What to do if you want to go freelance: sell before you build
    • What to read if you want to level up (Badass Bookshelf)
