4 Day Week Studio is a consultancy and digital workspace for organizations designing and trialing 4-day workweeks. It’s run by Alex Soojung-Kim Pang, an expert on the 4-day week, and former head of research and consulting at 4 Day Week Global.
We run courses for and consult with organizations that wants to implement a 4-day week; provide business intelligence for consultants; lecture about the 4-day workweek and the future of work; and maintain free resources for the public and an assessment tool for organizations thinking about adopting a 4-day week.
If you want to learn more about the Studio, or if you have questions about the 4-day week, feel to chat with our AI, or explore this and our other pages.
This is one of two AIs working with 4 Day Week Studio. The Studio AI is trained on my FAQs, podcast transcripts, interviews, and other writings. AI Pang, which is available to clients, adds my books Work Less Do More, Shorter, and Rest; exercises and other content we use in courses, consulting engagements, and workshops; and unpublished writings. In effect, AI Pang has read everything I’ve written, taken my courses, and sat in on my workshops and consulting engagements. And it remembers it all.
AI Pang is available to clients 24/7 and supports our courses and consulting. It’s also available on a trial basis upon request.
If you want to get in touch to learn more about my work, email or schedule a call.
We call ourselves a studio for two reasons.

First, there’s a strong design thinking tradition in the 4-day week movement.
Many 4-day week early adopters were design firms, who showed that the same methods pioneered in Silicon Valley to rethink things and experiences can also be used to redesign time. Design thinking puts users and customers first, encourages an open and experimental mindset, and offers a set of tools for investigating user needs and creating products that fit their lives. We bring that same sensibility into our work.

Second, we believe in learning by doing.
Anybody can describe the steps organizations take to get to a 4-day week; several years after we pioneered the first programs teaching companies how to design trials, that’s now more or less public knowledge: in fact, we have our own curated page of best first-hand accounts of 4-day week trials.
In contrast, we take clients and organizations through a proven set of exercises that yield a roadmap, policies, and tools; that move leaders from transactional to transformational styles; that promote an experimental mindset; and provide clear measures of success. We’re not a lecture hall, we’re a workshop. And no one has more experience helping organizations design their 4-day weeks than we do.
Shaping the 4-day week since 2020!
