Design Programs

Guided support to design a reduced-hours or 4-day work week that actually works for your organisation.

Our Design Programs are for organisations that want structure, expert guidance, and confidence - without jumping straight into full consulting.

When A Design Program
Makes Sense

Is this your next step?

Design Programs are a good fit when:

  • You’ve explored the idea and want to go deeper

  • Leadership alignment matters

  • You want a clear, decision-ready plan

  • You value expert facilitation and structure

  • You don’t want to figure this out alone

Many organisations arrive here after completing Fast Track -but it’s not required.

What Design Programs
Help You Do

What you’ll walk away with

Through a Design Program, organisations typically gain:

  • A clear understanding of what reduced hours could look like in their context

  • Alignment on success measures and constraints

  • Practical productivity redesign ideas

  • A draft reduced-hours model or options

  • Confidence to decide what happens next

This is about clarity and confidence, not rushing into change.

Two Delivery Options

Choose the format that fits your organisation

We offer two Design Program formats, depending on how much tailoring and flexibility you need.

Group Design Program

A structured, cohort-based program with expert facilitation and peer learning.

Best suited to:

  • Smaller organisations or project teams

  • Leaders who value shared learning and structure

  • Organisations early in their design journey

Private Design Program

A tailored, organisation-specific program delivered just for your team.

Best suited to:

  • Larger or more complex organisations

  • Teams that need flexibility or confidentiality

  • Leaders wanting faster progress and deeper application

How We Work (at A High Level)

Our approach

All Design Programs are built on the same proven methodology:

  • Evidence-based

  • Focused on redesigning how work gets done

  • Grounded in productivity, clarity, and outcomes

The difference is how much tailoring and support you need - not the quality of the thinking.

What Happens Next

A conversation, not a pitch

Design Programs aren’t purchased off the shelf.

We start with a short conversation to:

  • Understand your context

  • Sense-check fit

  • Recommend the right format (or a different starting point)

If a Design Program isn’t the right next step, we’ll tell you.

Design Programs start from USD $3,795, depending on delivery format and organisational needs.
