Seneca: time is the only real resource
You can get more money and more people. You cannot get more time, and it is the one thing nobody plans.
The budget has a spreadsheet. The hours have nothing — and Seneca says time is the one thing you cannot get more of: meetings cost, 'later' means 'never', and the worst outcomes are worth thinking through tonight.
- The situation
Two weeks to the event, the team meets weekly for an hour and a half, and the speaker has still not confirmed.
- What the model says
Twelve people for an hour and a half is eighteen hours in a single meeting; if no decision comes out, those hours are simply gone.
- What you do
Give this meeting ten minutes for three scenarios — the speaker does not come, the projector fails, twenty people turn up — and write one sentence for each.
