Charts with something to say

The most powerful story might be one chart away.

Clear comparisons, meaningful numbers and trends worth discussing: this year's figures from the Federal Reserve, the Bureau of Labor Statistics and Peru's central bank, and the latest from the World Bank, the ITU, the ILO and UNESCO. Every chart includes its units, labels and source; open any of them in Chart Studio and make it yours.

The NGD methodology

From raw data to the right decision.

Every chart answers a question someone has to act on. The method starts there, before any data is loaded, and ends with the decision and its owner. It is applied in the twenty dashboards and written in full in the book.

Observation

What the numbers say, against the target and the prior period. One sentence, with the figures in it.

Analysis

Why: which segment, region or line explains the gap, and what it rules out.

Decision

What will be done, by whom and by when. Every chart ends with an owner and a date.

A chart should do more than look right. It should change what someone understands, and what they do next.

Down to the last pixel.
