There were 15 people in our meeting this morning, all from different departments each with different opinions. We didn't manage to achieve anything that we had planned to. Too many cooks spoil the broth!

Every member of the department was involved in the planning stage of the project. When it came to the execution of the plan, nobody had a clear idea of what they were supposed to do. It was a clear case of 'too many cooks spoil the broth!'
