UK Professional Services Avoid Clear Deadlines, Says Commentator

The author highlights a perceived cultural issue within the UK's professional services sector concerning the setting and acceptance of project deadlines. There appears to be a widespread hesitation to provide concrete completion dates for work. Instead of firm commitments, professionals frequently resort to ambiguous statements such as "we'll let you know when it's done" or "in due course." The author finds this lack of clarity frustrating and advocates for a more transparent and direct approach to project scheduling and expectations.
