Increase productivity, boost customer satisfaction, make losses disappear, erase competitors — all with just a swipe of your finger. As you solve ever-funkier data puzzles, your boss watches your progress closely, wondering if you’ve got what it takes to earn that promotion. Well, have you? – Fix puzzling charts and bend the trends. Make your company’s productivity, shareholder value, and customer trust shine — at least on paper. – Pie charts, bar charts, scatter plots: drag, pinch, pull and push all kinds of charts to make them behave while your boss pushes for results. – Chat with your boss. Yes, it can be awkward, and that’s funny – but what if it affects your promotion? – Solve the mysteries of equal pay.
