Disregard has Consequences
The Hidden Capacity Crisis
Despite high ambition and strong competence, people lack time, energy, and cognitive space needed to perform, innovate, and collaborate at a sustainable level.
When capacity is constrained, performance, wellbeing, resilience, and continuity suffer — quietly at first, then systemically.
Great Talent choses Better Workplaces
As demographics shift and expectations evolve, organisations that fail to focus on how work is organised - how focus, learning, and collaboration are enabled - struggle to retain and attract the people they need.
The challenge is no longer finding talent, but creating conditions where talent wants to stay and thrive.
The Leadership Execution Gap
This creates misalignment and constraint between ambition and execution.
The issue isn’t leadership capability - it's leadership capacity.
In the absence of a positive performance culture and impactful work design, leaders and teams struggle to succeed without burnout.

The secret sauce
Designing work for impact is a continuum that requires momentum – rather than a sprint that requires speed.
Especially in times of change, great workplaces continuously reduce interferences and unlock capacity – elevating performance and wellbeing with high impact.
Imagine what could become possible in your organisation if you intentionally created sPace for continuous innovation, learning, and collaboration – all while strengthening work-life harmony.
Vi välkomnar verksamheter från offentlig och privat sektor, olika branscher och storlekar. Större verksamheter kan även välja att testa med bara en del av verksamheten om så önskas.
Verksamheter väljer antingen att delta anonymt eller att vara medialt synligt.
Att testa ställa om till en alternativ arbetsmodell inom verksamheten kräver både mod och beslutsamhet.
Deltagande verksamheter får tillgång till digitala resurser med workshops, best practice och kunskapsutbyte i ett svenskt och globalt community av 4 Day Week verksamheter.
Eftersom ingen förändringsresa är den andra lik, erbjuder vår samarbetspartner PaceLab två alternativ för vidare stöd & resurser. Finn detaljerna längre ner på denna sida.
Pilotföretagen väljer utformningen av 100-80-100 modellen samt i vilken utsträckning modellen implementeras i verksamheten. En del företag väljer att testa med några utvalda avdelningar medans andra väljer att i små steg ställa om hela verksamheten, ett litet steg i taget.
För att uppnå en hög kvalité av forskningsdata i pilotstudien är det viktigt att deltagande verksamheter ser till att medarbetare prioriterar svar på enkäter vid mättillfällena.
Verksamheter betalar en administrativ avgift för sitt deltagande i pilotstudien som tar hänsyn till verksamhetens storlek. Denna avgift ger tillgång till alla ovan nämnda resurser inom 4 Day Week Global.
PaceLab kompletterande stöd till pilotstudien paketeras i nedan två erbjudanden och faktureras enligt separat. Verksamheter erbjuds EXTRA stöd med 10 kompletterande digitala kunskapslyft för ökad produktivitet eller PREMIUM stöd med kompletterande verksamhetsspecifik rådgivning.
Engagera medarbetarna att gemensamt utforska nya smarta arbetssätt, förbättrade resultat och ökad välmående. Öka din attraktionskraft som arbetsgivare genom att positionera er verksamhet som innovativt och hållbart.
Tänk att utvecklas som en av framtidens mest attraktiva och hållbara arbetsplatser!
Applied Expertise at Scale
Founded by Daniela Tell, PaceLab partners with ambitious leaders and entrepreneurs to strengthen performance, leadership capacity, and work design – regenerative and impactful.
With the intention to deepen understanding of key success factors for optimal performance and wellbeing, PaceLab contributed to the Swedish 4 Day Week research by facilitating design sprints, helping organisations to redesign work for increased sustainability and impact.
The Swedish research initiative was led by Anna-Carin Alderin.
Thought leaders
The 4 Day Week Legacy
In 2019, Andrew Barnes and Charlotte Lockhart set out to rethink work. Through their NGO, 4 Day Week Global, they sparked a global movement redefining productivity — shifting the focus from time spent to value created.
As time saved through smarter work practices was intentionally reinvested in teams, it became a driver of intrinsically motivated continuous improvement. The movement was therefore often misunderstood as a simple reduction in working hours — rather than a redesign of how work works.
The Work Design Future
Today, Karen Lowe and Debbie Bailey lead the next chapter as Co-CEOs. Trusted by more than 2,500 organisations across 37 countries, they help leaders understand what’s really happening inside their organisations — unlocking capacity to improve performance.
