Description of The 80/20 Principle

The 80/20 Principle - that 80% of results come from 20% of the causes - has greatly influenced today's world: but this is the first book showing readers how to use it in a practical and systematic way. The pattern of predictable imbalance which was noted a century ago by Pareto crops up throughout life, and in The 80/20 Principle Richard Koch opens our eyes to the way the world really works. He reinforces the principle with many examples of it in operation - 20% of products account for 80% of profits, as do 20% of customers; 20% of motorists account for 80% of accidents... and so on.

Most things we do have trivial results, and only a little of what we do really matters. So if we focus on the latter, we can control events instead of being controlled by them - and achieve several times the results.

This text shows how you can achieve more with less effort, time and resources, by concentrating on the that 20 per cent.
