Introducing our 4-day week pilot
5 Apr 2022
By now, the news is out. In fact, it’s quite literally everywhere!
Think ten times BIGGER!
4. Day. Week. Well, that sounds silly when you put it on the table.
We’re really busy, so how on earth are we going to do the work we’re doing now in less time? It was a fair point. But that wasn’t enough to dull this nagging thought.
All I had to do was look to the Tribe to see some great examples. We have loads of working parents doing 4-day weeks. Frankly, now I thought about it, they are all pretty damn phenomenal at their jobs. There was the evidence it could be done, I thought to myself.
Then I remembered something that Kirk Vallis told me….
For those that haven’t heard of him, Kirk is an Innovation and Creativity expert at Google. Within his day-to-day role keeping the creative juices flowing in a tech giant with a market share of over 85%, Kirk has no option but to be radical.
“Whenever you have a problem think 10 times bigger,” he said to me.
In other words, go big or go home.
So, we committed in that coffee shop. We would take TG in the direction of a 4-day week.
