Activities
At the 80/20 launch in London in May 2008 Simon Davies surprised guests by remarking "I'd like to stand up here and tell you we have a business plan, but we don't". This admission is reflected in the company's organic growth, which has unpredictably - and even erratically - cut across the privacy spectrum.
Amongst the company's most prominent work has been the creation of Privacy Impact Assessments, which it has undertaken for organisations as diverse as the controversial Phorm targeted advertising system to the refugee centres of the United Nations.
In addition to its privacy assessment work, 80/20 Thinking has started to develop open enrollment and bespoke Privacy training courses. The company is currently vying for wide-scale public sector training in the UK.
A series of partnerships is also currently in train to establish a global privacy recruitment service for privacy professionals, including Chief Privacy Officers and Data Protection Officers.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“Justice begins with the recognition of the necessity of sharing. The oldest law is that which regulates it, and this is still the most important law today and, as such, has remained the basic concern of all movements which have at heart the community of human activities and of human existence in general.”
—Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
“As life developed, I faced each problem as it came along. As my activities and work broadened and reached out, I never tried to shirk. I tried never to evade an issue. When I found I had something to do—I just did it.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“No culture on earth outside of mid-century suburban America has ever deployed one woman per child without simultaneously assigning her such major productive activities as weaving, farming, gathering, temple maintenance, and tent-building. The reason is that full-time, one-on-one child-raising is not good for women or children.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
