Data & AI User

Data & AI persona

Data & AI User

Reads and interprets data for decisions, and uses AI tools responsibly.

Who they are

Data & AI Users are the broad workforce. They use data and AI in their daily work but do not build it: they read dashboards and reports, work with AI assistants, and interpret what others have made.

What they need is confidence. Confidence to question a number before acting on it, to recognise when a chart is misleading, and to use an AI tool without either avoiding it or trusting it blindly.

This is the largest persona in almost every organization, which makes it the foundation of any data & AI literacy program. It is also the group where a small skill increase multiplies across thousands of everyday decisions.

What they need to master

  • Reading data — high focus. Interpreting data insights and visualisations, data-driven decision-making.
  • Communicating with data & AI — medium. Understanding AI concepts and the basics of data science and machine learning, so conversations with specialists actually work.
  • Working with data & AI — entry level. Working with AI applications (prompting, copilots) and responsible AI.
  • Reasoning with data & AI — low. Not a priority for this persona.

Their training track

  • Data Literacy Fundamentals
  • Reading Data Visualisations
  • AI Fundamentals
  • Introduction to Prompt Engineering
  • Introduction to Microsoft Copilot
  • Responsible AI

Every track is built on your own tools, data and use cases, and delivered cohort-based so people practice with each other instead of clicking through modules alone.

Where this persona sits

User is the entry level of the framework and the largest group. Many Users grow into Data & AI Builders once they start turning insight into action themselves — building a dashboard, running a small analysis, designing an AI workflow for their team.

At first I thought it was going to be very technical, but it became very easy to follow and actually made me realise I use AI more than I think.

The other personas

Most organizations run all three in parallel: the whole workforce moves at once, each group on the skills their own job needs.

Build this persona's skills in your organization

We start with a discovery phase and a skill assessment, then build the track on your own tools, data and use cases. Half an hour is enough to see whether that fits.
