"The real work of business and life is to find those vital few factors that wield the quiet but potent power to change everything, for better or for worse, and then to strive to change them for the better."

In this edition of Tech Coffee Chats, I sat down with Anthony Sanni, author of the book The Law of The Vital Few: How to do more by doing less, and we break down the complexity that comes with technology and share helpful tips on how to simplify the complexity and boost your productivity.

It was a really interesting discussion and we covered a lot of ground including:

1) How to apply the technology transformation framework to boost delivery of your technology initiatives

2) Exploring the counter-intuitive concept of doing more by doing less

3) Learning how to set goals for your technology projects

4) How to prioritize your projects so you're working on what really matters

Quotes:

"Our greatest gains are traceable to a small number of sources. So are our greatest losses."

"There are many things you could be doing. But they are not necessarily what you should be doing. What you should be doing is moving in the direction of the high pay-off goals"

"...ignoring the vital few sources of both good and grief in our affairs can be a recipe for failure. It may not be the only thing that could hamper our success, but it surely is a critical one."
