For many businesses, the data journey begins and ends with a spreadsheet. But what happens when you hit the limits of Excel? How do you build a truly data-literate workforce capable of driving real strategy?

In the first-ever episode of The BPP Digital Edge, host Idris Fabiyi sits down with Donna Kane, Programme Lead for Data at BPP, to map out the modern data journey. They uncover a "quiet revolution" where the most impactful data professionals aren't new graduates, but experienced employees being upskilled with foundational data skills.

• The essential skills—from AI awareness to security—that data professionals need for the future of work.
• Donna's single most important piece of advice is for any organisation beginning its data transformation.
