In my review of
Summary: The 80/20 Principle: Review and Analysis of Koch’s Book
posted on Amazon.co.uk, I gave the summary Three Stars, meaning Worthwhile.
Here is my review.
Useful summary of an important book
It must be ten years since i read Richard Koch’s book “The 80/20 Principle “. The main message is easy to remember but I thought I’d probably forgotten many of the nuances.
These book summaries fit into 80/20 thinking. You can learn most of the lessons by reading a summary that’s chopped away 80% of the bloat.
The big reminders I got were:
– be proactive. Think what are likely to be the key 20% of inputs?
– the scope of using 80/20 ideas in business is very wide. Most problems can be tackled with 80/20 thinking.
The 80/20 ideas can also be applied to your personal productivity and effectiveness as well as in your personal life. This about living life purposefully by deciding what you want and thinking about the most effective ways to do it.
The summary is useful because it’s quick to read all the way through when too many books are started and not finished. It will help you decide if you want to apply the 80/20 ideas but if you do, I suspect you’ll want to read the full book or one of the other books Richard Koch has written.
The ideas behind the 80/20 principle are important to understand and this summary provides an easy way to start learning.
