How deep is your Pareto?

Does your organization have a culture that solves problems at the root causation level or just at the surface? Pareto charts are a great tool to use for digging down to the root, but one level just won't cut it.

To be two to three levels deep in a Pareto chart requires data. You will have to work to get beyond one level, but often the solution is two or three levels deep.

Don't accept opinions to solve problems in your organization. Tell them you can't hear them unless they are at least two Paretos deep with data.
