A year ago, I wrote a post about the circumplex chart and how consulting firms use charts to increase their price tag. Not all charts, mind: only the ones that the average user don't recognize from the Excel charts library.
Funny enough, I got several messages from consultants asking how that chart was done. So, in the spirit of the silly season, and just before I leave on vacation to a place no data visualization expert will ever find me, I'll tell you how. Watch the video tutorial:
(By the way, I invite you to subscribe to my YouTube channel. I'll start adding videos there on a regular basis.).
As you can see, this is a basic doughnut chart... You know, doughnut charts don't deserve their bad reputation. They are very flexible, and you can use them as pie-charts-on-steroids or as a basic framework for the circumplex chart and other similar charts (you can also make a speedometer, but please don't). Of course, pies and doughnuts are not real food, so you should not expect much from their namesake charts, either.
Here is the file (xlsx).
