Everything expands

Some thing always seem to expand to fill the space available. Work expands to fill the time available. Spending expands according to the money available (and for many beyond the money available it seems). However, what about meetings? I've noticed in my office, that it doesn't seem to matter how many meeting rooms there are, or how many new ones we create, there are never enough.

Why is that?

We have so many tools that enable us to collaborate with each other now that I fear we are losing the ability to take decisions on our own. So we meet. Which is a shame, because technology delivers us the quality information in a timely way to allow us to decide and do. Yet we seem to have lost the confidence. Is this the blame culture impacting on business? Or is this just ultimate democracy?
