AI is making data analysis more accessible, but the ability to use it effectively and responsibly remains a critical workforce skill.
Join Jordan Morrow, Nekst and African leaders for a practical discussion on closing the data and AI capability gap, informed by findings from the State of Data Literacy Africa 2026. Explore what workforce readiness looks like, why capability drives adoption, and what leaders can do next.
What you’ll take away
Who should attend
Adoption is built through capability, not bought through technology
Participation in data initiatives climbs sharply as capability grows. The panel will unpack why, and what it means for how you invest in AI.
On the panel
Greg has spent more than 24 years helping organisations turn data into business value, including time at Cognos and MicroStrategy. He works with teams on the skills people need to trust, challenge and act on what data and AI tools tell them.
Often called the Godfather of Data Literacy, Jordan helped build one of the world’s first data literacy programmes. He is the author of five books, including Be Data Literate and Data and AI Skills, and advises leaders worldwide on data and AI adoption.
Kevin has more than two decades in IT, including 15 years leading analytics businesses at MicroStrategy and iOCO. His focus is the people side of data and AI: measuring workforce capability and making sure technology investment shows up in better decisions.
