I'm going to use the big questions to challenge myself and my team to really think about what success looks like for us and get some real innovation going - and show it can be done even in the public sector!

]]> Comment on Are you doing the right things to get the results you need? by Martyn Overton http://bb-ds.co.uk/2011/11/are-you-doing-the-right-things-to-get-the-results-you-need/#comment-2 Martyn Overton Fri, 18 Nov 2011 09:47:24 +0000 http://bb-ds.co.uk/?p=242#comment-2 Hi Tony, Good thoughts and these are questions to regularly ask ourselves. An interesting point though is the 80 / 20 rules, did some work about 6 weeks ago and the business owner had actually done a real life analysis of his business and found that 80% of his revenue did actually come form 20% of his clients. That was really powerful information for him because he can now identify his "best" type of client (the type that brings in the most revenue), and target more of that "type" of client. Simple figures and rules often give the best information. Regards, Martyn. Hi Tony,
