About The Progress Conference 2013 Richard Koch will present this 1 day conference applying 80/20 thinking to management so that you can become a connected, effective and highly successful manager and leader. Spend a day with the author of “the 80/20 Principle” – one of the top 25 business books of all time. We live in a decade where managers are expected to do more with less. Less staff, less resources and very often a lower budget. As you may know, the 80/20 Principle is the observation or hypothesis that the large majority of results come from a small minority of causes. The trick is to see where that is true in your business. The genius of Richard Koch’s studies is that he makes this counter-intuitive concept accessible. Richard’s latest research has isolated ten ways in which leaders and managers can realize boundless ambition and achievement without working yourself or your people into the ground. These form the basis of his forthcoming book, The 80/20 Manager, and you will hear about these first, before publication, in a world exclusive event – this is the first presentation he has made of his new findings.
