80/20 Thinking
80/20 Thinking Limited was launched in January 2008 as a UK based global privacy consultancy specialising in corporate and consumer advice in the fields of privacy, data protection, information security and corporate social responsibility. The company takes its name from the Pareto principle of cause and effect (also known as the 80/20 rule). It is a wholly independent company, owned and managed by its principal directors.
The company announced in a public statement on April 13, 2009 that as of August that year it would no longer engage with clients in a commercial capacity to provide consulting and advisory services and that, instead, it would focus on researching and developing privacy technology such as impact and audit tools amongst others. This change in mandate was partially due to the perception of conflict of interest between 80/20 Thinking and the involvement of its directors in the NGO Privacy International.

Famous quotes containing the word thinking:
“There is a delicate balance of putting yourself last and not being a doormat and thinking of yourself first and not coming off as selfish, arrogant, or bossy. We spend the majority of our lives attempting to perfect this balance. When we are successful, we have many close, healthy relationships. When we are unsuccessful, we suffer the natural consequences of damaged and sometimes broken relationships. Children are just beginning their journey on this important life lesson.”
—Cindy L. Teachey. “Building Lifelong Relationships—School Age Programs at Work,” Child Care Exchange (January 1994)
