How to Tighten the Security of Windows Desktops
One of the most important consulting skill is ability to prioritize and identify the most effective approach to meet the customer\project goals. Pareto principle (also known as 80:20 rule, or law of the vital few) is critical in success and every professional consultant should be aware of it (and benefit from it). Pareto principle allows us (consultants) to deliver something of a value to the customer – it helps us to identify what’s important and what is not and how to get maximum value with minimum resources. When you see a document with 100 recommendations, it’s sometimes hard to identify what is really important and what’s just a minor flaw or annoyance.
