The HI-CHART Experience
PracticalImplementation ofHICHERT®SUCCESS using Excel

In his concept HICHERT®SUCCESS Prof. Dr. Hichert explains the rules of successful Management Information Design. HI-CHART, as a long-time cooperation partner of Prof. Hichert, puts this concept into practice.
The following pages show some typical elements of business reports, that have proven to be very effective and successful.
In the ICV Meeting on February 17th you will be introduced to these design elements in more detail. This includes a live demo of the Software-Tool "chart-me", an Add-In which has been developed by HI-CHART to implement the chart designs suggested by Prof. Hichert using MS Excel.
Further information on HICHERT®SUCCESS concept: http://success.hichert.com Further information on HI-CHART and chart-me Add-In: http://www.hi-chart.com (Free 30-day Trial Version)
I'm looking forward to our ICV meeting on February 17th in Belgrade.
