Visual of the Week

Summer. A good season to take some time off, enjoy the good weather, and spend some time outdoors. But it is also a time for big plans - after all, if you take some time off you get to do all the things you have wanted to all year...

You know the feeling. It is Friday, you need to get a couple of things ready and then head off into the weekend. Just one more quick mail and off you are. Maybe not save the most important communication for when you are in a rush. Why? We will tell you.

Meetings are a part of the daily business. We meet to align with people, work on topics together and tackle things in a group. It is simply the act or process of coming together. Simple as that. Right? Right.

Probability is how likely something is going to happen. Whenever we're unsure about the outcome of an event, we can talk about the probabilities of certain outcomes—how likely they are. The analysis of events governed by probability is called statistics. But does that always apply?

It is almost time for the weekend. No, we do not mean the rapper. We mean those two great days, where a lot of us have time off from work and get to do all the fun things we don't have time to do during the week. Laundry, for example.

Today we are looking at unruly office equipment. Most of the time we are able to keep everything digital, but at times you just need a printout. And we are all aware what happens next - the printer misbehaves.

Rain, snow, hail, shine. All on the same day. Welcome to the month of April. This month keeps us on our toes. Compared to other months of the year, April is erratic when it comes to weather.I t’s not that the rest of the months don’t produce variable atmospheric conditions. They do, just not as consistently as April’s predictably unpredictable weather.

In our visual of the week we want to brush the topic of the different ways one can visualize data. Doesn't sound fun? You might be surprised.

Last week we made a cool visual on how female dog years have changed over the past 10 years. And since we do not discriminate and are all for gender equality, this week we will show you how male dog names changed over the same time period. There are some fun surprises.

"Sportwoche" quite literally translates to sports week. Which is close to the truth, because doing fun activities in the snow is widely considered exercise. And nothing screams Switzerland more than mountains, snow and skiing.

Since working remotely has become more of a rule than an exception, the question in the morning is - how much time do I actually need to get ready? Well, that all depends. Doesn't it?
