week two "take it to work" tip - motion charts
motion charts are a great way to display really complex information. here's what they look like.
A good overview of how they can be used is in this TED presentation, http://www.ted.com/talks/hans_rosling_shows_the_best_stats_you_ve_ever_seen.html
The best part? You can use this tool for free. Google bought the technology, and integrated it into the Google docs spreadsheet. You can get some pointers on use here.
I guarantee if you find the right data set in your company, and put one of these charts together, you'll be a rock star.
