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:

“The man, or the boy, in his development is psychologically deterred from incorporating serving characteristics by an easily observable fact: there are already people around who are clearly meant to serve and they are girls and women. To perform the activities these people are doing is to risk being, and being thought of, and thinking of oneself, as a woman. This has been made a terrifying prospect and has been made to constitute a major threat to masculine identity.”
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
