How to use "Expediency" in context?
In many cases, expediency is seen as a good thing. The urge to get things done as quickly as possible is often seen as a strength and a motivator. This is especially true in situations where there is a danger of something going wrong if the process is not hurried. However, there are situations where expediency can be harmful.
When expediting a decision, it can often lead to information being misinterpreted or ignored. This can result in bad decisions being made, and can even put people in danger. In addition, rushing through a process can often lead to mistakes being made that may not be able to be corrected.
