Leaders in Business: The 80/20 Principle. How to Achieve More with Less,Richard Koch
26 October 2012, Central London, UK
“Efficiency is doing things right; effectiveness is doing the right things” (Peter Drucker).
The greatest leaders and organizations of all time have known this to be true. They’ve lived and breathed this mantra, and by doing so, they’ve lived and breathed The 80/20 Principle. They know that it’s their ability to focus on the few things that really matter in their life and business that will ultimately determine their success and impact on this world.
This event is a great opportunity to hear directly from the author of The 80/20 Principle, Richard Koch. Richard is not just an author and expert on strategy – he’s also a world leader in business. He’s proven that what he preaches works. His company is worth millions and he’s also invested using this principle in companies like Betfair.
At this event, Richard Koch will show how The 80/20 Principle – the fact that 80 percent of the results flow from 20 percent of the causes –is the key to taking control personally and professionally. Most of what we do has trivial results. You’ll learn how to channel your energy into the few things that matter to transform your current results and impact.
At this event you will have the opportunity of hearing Richard speak and also hear an in depth interview with him. You’ll also have your chance to ask some of your own questions.

Join us for the 2012 Executive Education Conference focusing on synergy and partnerships between corporations and executive education institutions.
This conference is relevant and attractive for corporate participants, and will explore the changing and evolving relationships that are developing between L&D providers and companies with a truly mixed audience.
Six outstanding learning and development partnerships selected from the 2012 EFMD Excellence in Practice Awards (EiP) will provide live inputs, including the winners, Lonza and the University of St Gallen; Merck and The Wharton School(University of Pennsylvania); BAE Systems and Saïd Business School(University of Oxford); Siemens & Siemens Learning Campus and Goldman Sachs(Foundation); and Leeds University Business School.
Typical questions to be addressed in the plenary discussions will be:
How consistent are providers and clients in analyzing, describing and documenting the business challenge that lies at the basis of the development request?
How successful are clients and suppliers at partnering throughout the design, delivery and evaluation of an L&D initiative?
How proficient are clients and suppliers at feeding back the impact the L&D initiative had on the people and organisations concerned?
