Introduction
Strategy used for prioritizing criteria, ideas, or issuesBased on Pareto’s Law, a principle used for business activity, is
based on the idea of the trivial many and the critical few: the 80:20 rule.
Directions: 1. Present the list of items generated from a brainstorming session,
making sure that all items are clearly stated and understood. 2. Determine the number of votes each group member will be
allowed to cast by multiplying the number of people in the group by 0.20, rounding up if needed.
3. Conduct a brief review of what criteria should be considered in determining the best options from those presented.
4. Have participants then vote on the items presented. 5. The items that receive the most votes are the ones which will
most likely have the greatest impact based on the choices presented.
Pareto Voting
When a group comes to consensus on a matter, it means that everyone in the group can support the decision
Values from 0-5 to express their level of agreement with a proposed solution or understanding of a problem
Directions: Closed Fist - A no vote - a way to block consensus. 1 fingers- “I still need to discuss certain issues and suggest changes
that should be made.” 2 fingers- “I am more comfortable with the proposal but would like
to discuss some minor issues.” 3 fingers- “I’m not in total agreement but feel comfort- able to let
this decision or a proposal pass without further discussion.” 4 fingers- “I think it’s a good idea/decision and will work for it.” 5 fingers- “It’s a great idea and I will be one of the leaders in
implementing it.”
