The Pareto
Principle (a.k.a. The 80:20 Rule)
In the late 1800s, economist
and avid gardener Vilfredo Pareto established that 80% of the
land in Italy was owned by 20% of the population. While gardening
he later observed that 20% of the peapods in his garden yielded
80% of the peas that were harvested. And thus was born a theory
that has stood the test of time and scrutiny. The Pareto Principle
or the 80:20 Rule has proven its validity in a number of other
areas.
In the business world, it has been found that the principle
could be applied to project management and many other areas,
such as:
Applied to Meetings:
80% of decisions come from 20% of meeting time.
Applied to Managerial Headaches:
Roughly 80% of your managerial problems and headaches are caused
by just 20% of your problems.
Applied to time management and your daily To-Do List:
80% of your measurable results and progress will come from just
20% of the items on your daily To-Do list. The major problem
is that most people are so busy fighting fires that they never
get around to the most vital few activities that will lead to
the greatest results.
Applied to Interruptions:
80% of a Manager's interruptions come from the same 20% of people.
Applied
to product defects:
Roughly
20% of the input errors typically cause the lion's share of
defects.
Applied to Salespeople:
Roughly
20% of a sales force will develop 80% of the annual results.
Applied to Customer Complaints:
Roughly
80% of customer complaints are about the same 20% of your
projects, products or services.
Applied to Business Units:
Roughly
20% of a company's business units will produce 80% of the
annual revenue.
Applied to Advertising:
Roughly
20% of your advertising will produce 80% of your campaign's
results. If businesses could only determine which 20% of their
advertising was really working, U.S. businesses could save
literally billions in advertising costs each year.
