Props to think-cell, pretty cool that students get free licenses! Important tool to learn before starting your consulting career.
Fully agree, great offer! Would have loved to have this earlier in my life. Best, H
Pretty cool + very freaking smart. Guess what those students will ask their manager when they land their first job after school? Can we get a license for Think-cell? :)
Great video again for many people out there. Personally I been using storytelling with data for 6 years. First 5 years as an external consultant and now since 1 year as an internal strategy consultant for a major retailer. One thing which works very well is a slide with the facts, the "so what" and "what's next". So pretty much the facts, conclusions and recommendations. Translation from data into insights into strategy.
Thanks for your comment! Yes, the i) Facts, ii) So What and iii) Whats Next framework is a nice one, can see how this makes a lot of sense in many situations. Thanks for sharing! Best, Heinrich
Story telling is key to everything. People relate and remember your message better when they can relate through a story.
Hi Matt, thanks for watching! That's it, fully agree. Thanks for your comment! Best, Heinrich
Hi Heinrich, absolutely love it. Thank you so much for showing us with the before and after. I mostly struggle to get data cleaned so that it is useable. The story often comes with sidenotes. These insights are so underrated to be able to move forward, so again I really appreciate you want to share your knowledge on this topic. Excellent!
Hi Shanti, thanks for your comment! Happy to hear you found value in the video. Agree that it is often not straight forward to clean data and present it in the perfect way. Will create more content on this going forward. Best, Heinrich
Incredible video, extremely useful.
Happy to hear you enjoy the video Akash, thanks!
Thanks for this great content! Again on point 👌🏻
Thanks, appreciate it!
Damn I needed this video like 1 1/2 weeks ago 😢
Great content though!
Thanks for watching! Hope you can still take something away from it for your next projects :) Best, Heinrich
Think-cell looks amazing. Are the personal licenses coming back?
Definitely a very helpful tool. If you are not a student, you can go for the "professional license" via below link (it is a single license), hope this helps:

@@FirmLearning Thanks for clarifying it.
I was wondering whether think-cell would work on open-source software like Libre Office, but their website says it runs only on Microsoft Office. Do you know if it's compatible?
Wish I had this 6 months ago 😂 but now today is better then Tomorrow.
Happy to hear it is helpful! Trust you will be able to apply it to your next projects :) Thanks for watching Ms. Forest! Best, Heinrich
Thanks for the great video. Sorry if I missed it but how did you add the chart to ThinkCell?
Hi Selena, received the chart already with the data loaded into think-cell :) if you have think-cell installed, it directly recognizes other think-cell charts. Thanks for watching! Best, Heinrich
Can you please conduct a live zoom session. Where we can learn case solving in an interactive format ?
Hi Ritesh, thanks for your comment and this suggestion! Definitely an interesting one - have added it to my ideas list! Best, Heinrich
Hi. Do you teach this and data visualization and enough data to practise in your course too? Thank you. I have 1 day to practise it. Thank you
Hi, thanks for your comment! Yes, data visualization is a full chapter in the Academy. Lots of success to you! Heinrich
@@FirmLearning and I will have access to it right after paying?
@@BNLien Hi, yes after enrolling you have access to the full curriculum. Best! H
@@FirmLearning thank you very much Henrick.
Great video. Thanks.
I have to say that I think that ''Think Cell'' was not explained enough beside the examples
Hi Lior, thanks for watching! Sure, the video was not intended as a think-cell tutorial. Though might create more on the topic in the future, stay tuned!
@FirmLearning its a bit sad they don't give fixed licenses vs. perpetual licenses. A lot of the world still runs on fixed licenses on the retail side. Think Cell seems to have value but only to corporations.
Hi Juan, understand where you are coming from, though to be honest subscriptions seem to be the standard for most companies today (also for other consumer software products). Thanks for watching and your comment! Best, Heinrich
Ernsthaft, so schwer ist das „th“ nun auch wieder nicht. Das klingt wie reinstes Hochdeutsch. Andere Sprachen KLINGEN anders. Das hier ist echt schwer auszuhalten. Wird dir kein native speaker sagen, sie sagen es nur denen, die tatsächlich wie native speaker klingen.
Aber das kann echt niemand lange aushalten. Schlimmer als sächsisch. Oder indisches „Indlish“. Du klingst wie wenn Otto Leute nachmacht, die eigentlich kein Englisch sprechen. Wie kann jemand English lernen und zu 100% Deutsch klingen auf dem Level?? Sorry, super Inhalt, aber ich krieg schon die Krise, was glaubst du, wie das für native speaker klingt…
