Academic program

I used to dread creating charts and other data visualization pieces until I started using think-cell. Now I actually look forward to exploring the many ways I can bring numbers to life with think-cell's numerous features!

I learned about think-cell a few years before business school after working with some consultants. I was amazed at how quickly they created visually stunning yet complex charts and graphs. During my first year at Tuck, I explored think-cell to develop that skill-set, which provided a distinct value-add to my first-year project team and allowed me to better contribute to my summer internship!

think-cell has been a very intuitive charting tool that I came across during my MBA program. We have been able to use it at various case competitions to create professional looking slides and be able to save lots of time. I would certainly recommend this tool to any student looking to make themselves more valuable to future potential employers.

The amount of time saved by using think-cell cannot be overstated! Becoming efficient with this tool will benefit you in your academic and professional life – that has certainly been the case for me.

think-cell has really taken my presentations to the next level. Whether it’s for a class project or a case competition, being able to easily use data in a visual way to help me tell my story has been a game-changer. The Gantt chart feature in particular helped my team quickly create an easy to understand implementation plan for our proposed solution in the 2019 Student Case Competition for the American College of Healthcare Executives and helped us take first place.

think-cell is by far one of the best Microsoft PowerPoint add-ons. I worked at a Big 4 in client service for 6 years before business school and we would spend early mornings and late nights manually aligning text boxes and building charts, which were less value-add than time spent. think-cell's waterfall function and smart align mechanisms have saved me so much time in these areas!

It is vital that students enter the workplace with the ability to communicate through data. think-cell allows students to quickly determine the best representation of their data so that the data can tell a story. Therefore, we require think-cell certification of all new undergraduates, as well as required assignments throughout the curriculum.

We use think-cell in our required Leadership Communication course. It is an excellent tool that faculty can easily integrate into assignments on data visualization. Company support was exceptionally helpful, designing a custom demo to fit with our learning objectives. Students appreciate how the functions are embedded in Excel and PowerPoint — programs they already use regularly — and the efficiency think-cell offers.

The ability to generate compelling visual displays of quantitative information that support a narrative and drive decision making has increasingly become "table stakes" and a differentiator among rising talent in organizations. I can think of no more practical tool than think-cell to help students sharpen those transferable skills for their future careers.

Undoubtedly, think-cell is an extremely useful and quickly applicable program for applied assignments and projects. The transformation that I saw from each class was astounding.
