Each of our businesses is unique and will go through a different 80/20 journey. As previously mentioned, no two 80/20 journeys are alike! However, there are many common activities along the way that contribute to delivering targeted outcomes that most companies implementing 80/20 strive to achieve.

This “Check & Adjust Tool” is meant to be a guide that invites questions that ultimately give you the confidence that you’re covering all the right bases that make sense in your business. It also provides a picture of the kind of results you should expect along your journey to help you evaluate whether you’re getting what you expected 80/20 to deliver in your business.

As the second 80/20 principle clearly states, 80/20 is all about unlocking profitable growth. What follows — together with the other concepts and examples throughout this book — is there to help you unlock profitable growth in your business. It is but one example of an 80/20 journey that led to incredible business outcomes in a manner that also created a more inspiring work environment. We hope it will serve as a thought-starter for you and your team as you pursue excellence in your business with 80/20!
