|
If you are part of a project team, planning committee or work group, read this before your next meeting. You’ll use it to see at a glance how you can get more with less effort and in half the time.
In strategic communication, like other human survival skills, the critical few determine the majority of results.
It goes like this: 20% of the great ideas bring 80% of the results.
20% of your preparation will bring 80% of your success.
20% of your efforts will bring 80% of the response.
This is equally true no matter what you are planning and presenting. No matter who you are presenting to. It’s true for sales, business, innovation and planning.
The 80/20 rule is also known as the Pareto Principle.
This is good news. Very good news. It means you can learn just the critical few skills in strategic planning instead of having to buy scads of books on strategic thinking skills, scour the internet for strategic secrets or pay a fortune for a success strategy coach.
Instead, you can focus on the correct 20%.
The critical principles that will bring you outrageous success.
The business world is undergoing profound changes. Dusting off last years plan won’t work. That’s in the “80” part of the 80/20 rule.
Building a plan without involving other people’s perspective…could be putting you and your company at serious risk. Phenomenally successful companies know this and are currently using strategic storyboarding to plan their ongoing success.
These are not little back woods companies. Companies such as Disney, GSK, Shell and IDEO use visual planning tools to keep their competitive edge. Visual storyboards change how to communicate with your customers. And this interaction opens up new horizons for redefining strategy, marketing, branding, project management, and innovation.
If you aren’t inviting this change into your own business, into how you involve your team of internal staff, clients and customers into your planning process—then think about this. Your competitors are.
No matter what business you are in, or what project you are managing—look for where you have the most leverage. You’ll find that a visual system for capturing ideas, inviting dialogue will help you and your team spot key opportunities.
And when you step back, you’ll see that these opportunities consistently fall into a familiar ratio.
Yup. 20% of the ideas will yield 80% of your success. It’s a zinger. Works time and time again.
But hey, don’t believe me. Try it for yourself.
