About 80/20 planning 1. Now-where-how process 2. 80/20 principle 3. Formula for change

Now-where-how NOW WHERE HOW

80/20 Principle 20% of effort gets 80% of results 20% of projects make 80% of revenue 20% of projects cause 80% of the problems 20% of the people do 80% of the work 20% of the customers generate 80% of the revenue 20% of customers cause 80% of the headaches

Formula for change D x V x P > C

Problems people experience with planning Don’t do it Over-complicate it Get into “paralysis by analysis” No clear method Begin with tactical before strategic, or How before Now and Where No buy in from others involved (eg spouse)

Problems people experience with planning Don’t update plan regularly Don’t stick to the plan Get distracted once it’s working No action plan, with responsibilities and timeframes No ongoing monitoring, consequences, celebrations
