The 80/20 Rule
I was talking with a client the other day and mentioned the 80/20 rule. I was surprised when she said she had never heard of it before and it got me thinking… it’d be a great idea for to write about. The 80/20 rule is also called the Pareto Principle, named after an Italian economist…
