CB.9:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Failure	Better move
Count a grant as complete provision	Recover the qualified work, access and timing that the money still needs to obtain.
Treat donated time as unlimited	Agree a contribution and its limit with the person who will perform it.
Promise every department a different benefit from one organiser	Reconcile the receiving results and provide the work each requires.
Use gratitude to carry a continuing service deficit	Provide the missing work, reduce the service or end the unsupported promise.
Count an allocated cost reduction as spendable cash	Obtain the actual capacity and payment consequences through MA/OPS.
Accept a sponsor’s new condition under members’ old agreement	Return the changed offer and obtain the affected decisions.
Keep a schedule by silently shifting the burden to the remaining volunteer	Apply the agreed reduction, replacement or postponement and revise the arrangement.
