How anyone can be more effective with less effort by learning how to identify and leverage the 80/20 principle--the well-known, unpublicized secret that 80 percent of all our results in business and in life stem from a mere 20 percent of our efforts.The 80/20 principle is one of the great secrets of highly effective people and organizations.Did you know, for example, that 20 percent of customers account for 80 percent of revenues? That 20 percent of our time accounts for 80 percent of the work we accomplish? The 80/20 Principle shows how we can achieve much more with much less effort, time, and resources, simply by identifying and focusing our efforts on the 20 percent that really counts. Although the 80/20 principle has long influenced today's business world, author Richard Koch reveals how the principle works and shows how we can use it in a systematic and practical way to vastly increase our effectiveness, and improve our careers and our companies.The unspoken corollary to the 80/20 principle is that little of what we spend our time on actually counts. But by concentrating on those things that do, we can unlock the enormous potential of the magic 20 percent, and transform our effectiveness in our jobs, our careers, our businesses, and our lives.

In this follow-up to his best-selling The 80/20 Principle, the power law that helped hundreds of thousands achieve more by doing less, Richard Koch puts science to work, applying ninety-two other natural laws to promote the "science of success" within the ever-changing world of business. What does Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection prove about developing a niche product line? How can Isaac Newton's laws of motion and gravity help in a crowded marketplace? This is a must-have book for business leaders looking for clear, evidence-based reasoning that explains why some companies seem to find success everywhere they turn, while others don't make progress.Richard Koch is a British author, speaker, and investor, and a former management consultant and entrepreneur. He has written over twenty books on business and ideas, including The 80/20 Principle about how to apply the Pareto principle in management and life. Koch got an MBA from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, worked as a consultant at The Boston Consulting Group, and at Bain & Company from 1980 to 1983. In 1983 he co-founded The LEK Partnership, an international strategy consulting firm, with headquarters in London.

Can We Map Success?Successful people typically don’t plan their success. Instead they develop a unique philosophy or attitude that works for them. They stumble across strategies which are shortcuts to success, and latch onto them. Events hand them opportunities they could not have anticipated. Often their peers with equal or greater talent fail while they succeed. It is too easy to attribute success to inherent, unstoppable genius.Bestselling author and serial entrepreneur Richard Koch charts a map of success, identifying the nine key attitudes and strategies can propel anyone to new heights of With this book, you can embark on a journey towards a new, unreasonably successful future.

Behind every business hero lies a successful strategy. Behind every business failure lurks a bad strategy. Developing a good strategy is remarkably simple. Yet the subject has become obscured and over-complicated by academics and consultants with their own hobby-horses and proprietary methods. Strategy has become remote from those who need it owners and executives. The Financial Times Guide to Strategy offers more insight than a whole library of academic strategy tomes. It will help you construct a strategic framework for your company, business model, and marketplace. This second edition is fully updated, encompassing changes in the theory and practice of strategy and including commentary on the latest theories and theorists.

Nearly all of the great success stories of the twentieth century—right up to the present day—are stories of simplifying.Over the last 40 years Richard Koch has worked to uncover the simple principles and strategies behind every successful business. With the help of venture capitalist Greg Lockwood and supported by research from OC&C Strategy Consultants, Koch has uncovered the one uniting principle behind successful companies such as IKEA, the Boston Consulting Group, Honda, and Uber: Simplify.Taking the principle one step further, Koch has identified that companies will either be price simplifiers—consider flying a budget airline stripped of all the extras that still takes you from point A to point B—or proposition simplifiers—such as Apple with their easy-to-use products for a large market willing to pay a premium.In this book, Koch and Lockwood dissect case studies to share the secrets behind the great simplifiers of business. You’ll learn how to:• Decide which simplifying strategy is the best option for your business• Model your business as a price or proposition simplifier• Make your products and services more useful and better looking• Spike demands and create markets that didn’t exist before• Redesign your business process and transform your industry in nine steps• Implement the three fundamental principles to sparking a price revolutionAre you ready to become the next market leader?

The practical guide to discovering the rules of our superconnected world through the science and sociology of networks. In Superconnect, Richard Koch and Greg Lockwood show that success is less about who you are than how you connect—a chance meeting with an old colleague leads to a swanky new job; two businessmen collaborate online and cofound a successful start-up; a friend introduces a promising entrepreneur to a millionaire looking to invest. But why do these lucky breaks always happen to other people? Personal and professional networks shape everything we do, but simply knowing that they exist won’t help you harness your connections for maximum success. With an eye toward business applications, Superconnect outlines the new rules of our densely linked society. At the core of the analysis are three simple network components—strong relationships, weak relationships, and hubs—that interact in surprising, counterintuitive ways. Understanding how these components mesh, and connecting unrelated people, is the way to achieve in today’s hyper-connected world.

منذ مئة سنة كان معظم الغربيين يشعرون بالاعتزاز الهائل والثقة الكبيرة بحضارتهم. وكان الغربيون يعرفون ما الذي تمثله حضارتهم وترمز له، وكانوا يؤمنون بها. أما اليوم فإن ذلك المعنى قد تلاشى...في هذا الكتاب المثير للجدل، يحدد ريتشارد كوك وكريس سميث ستة أعمدة رئيسة للحضارة الغربية وهي: المسيحية، والتفاؤل، والعلم، والنمو الاقتصادي، والليبرالية، والفردية. ويبين المؤلفان كيف أن هذه الأفكار قد عانت طوال قرن من هجوم مستمر من الداخل وكيف أنها لم تبقَ بعد ذلك ملهمة للغرب أو موحدة له، وهو ما يجعل الانجراف نحو الانتحار الجماعي يبدو حتمياً.ومع ذلك، فربما لا تكون كل الأمور موحشة مثلما قد تبدو؛ فالفحص المتبصر للعوامل الستة يُظهر أنها تمتلك مرونة كبيرة ترجع بها إلى ما كانت عليه. والكثير من عداء اليوم الموجَّه لهذه الأفكار مستند إلى مفاهيم دارجة ولكنها غريـبة، يدحضها الدليل العلمي. ومن الناحية النظرية، فإن تركيباً أكثر حنكة للأفكار الستة كفيل بتوفير طريق للغرب يستعيد بها شجاعته وكرامته. وأما من الناحية العملية فإن هذا الكتاب الآسر للب والذي لقي ترحيباً رائعاً يسبر غور الإجابة.

Running a business–any business–is a risky proposition. It often seems that we are being buffeted by random variables in the economy and the marketplace that are not only beyond our control, but impossible to foresee with any true certainty. But in the groundbreaking The Natural Laws of Business , businessman and entrepreneur Richard Koch, author of The 80/20 Principle , reveals a unique and remarkably accurate way in which managers and executives can use fundamental principles of science to anticipate and dramatically improve their chances of success.From Newtonian physics and Mendelian genetics to cutting-edge chaos theories, science explains how and why the world–including the business world works the way it does. Now, Richard Koch provides fascinating, completely accessible explanations of key scientific and economic theories, including their history and development. Through real-life examples and practical instructions he shows us how to successfully incorporate these natural laws into daily business decisions. For instance, drawing on four centuries of scientific progress, Koch explains how Darwin’s theory of natural selection can become the key to enhancing a company’s competitive advantage; how Einstein’s theory of relativity can hold the secrets to improving time management; how the insights of evolutionary psychology can help managers improve their relationship with their employees; and how a Plague Theory formula can help predict the impact of technology or product innovation on your business.First published in the United Kingdom, where it has garnered praise from noted academics, critics, and business leaders, The Natural Laws of Business is a groundbreaking, highly insightful examination–for science lovers and business leaders alike--of the essential tools and techniques for analyzing and dealing successfully with the ever-changing business environment of the twenty-first century.

No longer are corporations and capital king. There's a new way to create wealth that is better than the traditional route of managerial capitalism. Creative individuals are at the heart of the new revolution. In this book Koch shows how a new 21st century individualism is replacing capitalism and how individuals can create wealth and wellbeing. The revolution follows one simple principle - the 80/20 principle. Success comes from exclusive focus on the few very powerful forces operating in an arena. The most important forces to which the 80/20 principle apply are ideas and individuals, but it also applies to the other raw materials of enterprise -customers, partners, technologies, products, suppliers and capital. Wealth is most effectively multiplied by subtraction and re-arrangement of industries, not through the traditional routes of aggregation of activities and assets. More separate enterprises are created, spawned by a new idea from individuals, and linked together by markets rather than by hierarchy and central planning. The 80/20 revolution is as important as the three other revolutions in economic history - agricultural, industrial and managerial - which changed economies and societies for ever. The same will happen again, over the next two decades. The most seminal change has already happened - the most successful corporations now revolve around a few individuals. The corporation serves individuals, not the other way round. We will witness a huge wealth transfer to individuals and away fom institutions, to entrepreneurs and away from passive investors.

"Though life occurs in events, it must be written about in moments." Today's youth are growing up in an age of stress and trauma, and nowhere is that more apparent than in the classroom. Absenteeism, emotional distraction, passivity, and unresponsiveness are all signs of children in need. Thankfully, it turns out that the workshop classroom, with limited but essential tuning, can be just the environment students in the grip of trauma need to become comfortable in themselves and break through into active learning.In The Mindful Writing Teaching in the Age of Stress and Trauma, Professor Richard Koch offers clear, comprehensive, guided lessons that help teachers gain the insight necessary to adapt their instruction of writing to incorporate restorative and healing practices--practices that can improve the quality of learning and writing for all learners. Accessible, straightforward, and empowering, the approaches presented in The Mindful Writing Workshop will help previously indifferent or distracted students become engaged, increase their effort, deepen their resilience, and soon raise the quality of their writing, all while guiding teachers in creating a positive, collaborative, "doing" classroom.
