We've all heard of the 80/20 rule (otherwise known as the Pareto Principle) which states that for many phenomena, 80% of the consequences stem from 20% of the causes. In general business terms, the value of the Pareto Principle is that it reminds us to focus on the 20% that matters. The hard part is identifying what exactly falls into that 20% category.
In the transcription business, the 80/20 rule may be applied as some combination of the following:
80% of your errors are generated by 20% of your transcriptionists
80% of your complaints come from 20% of your customers
80% of difficult dictations come from 20% of your dictators
80% of your errors are really the same 20% of types of possible errors repeated over and over again
The 80/20 principle may only be a rule of thumb, or a generalization, but it does bring home the fact that identifying problems quantitatively and qualitatively, can help you not only to work smart, but to work smart on the right things.
