Letter T: Work expands so as to fill the Time available for its completion - Parkinson's Law

 In sourcing relationships both teams seem compelled to ‘do stuff’. Always qualify any work against aphorism ‘A’, and mindful of ‘D’. In sourcing relationships contract clauses around the account team staffing for both provider and customer will, over the relationship life-cycle, result in many idle hands. The aphorism is linked to ‘L’. It is better to change the contract clauses and re-align the teams within both parties to ensure value is maximised.


Related to Parkinson’s Law is, What may be done at any time will be done at no time’.
