#33Ways of workingPublished

Overlap.

Can a four-day week work without breaking service continuity?

ThenewB drawing #33, “Overlap”. A day split into asynchronous and synchronous slots, on a four-day, ten-hour pattern, supported by rotation, automation and AI, process redesign and planning. On the right, the gains in Luxembourg: fewer commutes, higher productivity, greater attractiveness.

In ten seconds

In Luxembourg, the option of working four ten-hour days opens a new rhythm. Clients, suppliers, banks and authorities still expect continuous service.

Signal

In Luxembourg, the option of working four ten-hour days opens a new rhythm. Clients, suppliers, banks and authorities still expect continuous service.

Paradox

Working time contracts. Service time does not move.

Implication

Time slots need organising: synchronous for interacting and deciding, asynchronous for preparing and following up. Rotation, automation and clearer processes secure coverage.
