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:
“The old, subjective, stagnant, indolent and wretched life for woman has gone. She has as many resources as men, as many activities beckon her on. As large possibilities swell and inspire her heart.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
“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)
“If it is to be done well, child-rearing requires, more than most activities of life, a good deal of decentering from one’s own needs and perspectives. Such decentering is relatively easy when a society is stable and when there is an extended, supportive structure that the parent can depend upon.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
