Not planes! No no no, I’m talking about piloting new ways of working. I read a great article last week about a PR agency boss who is piloting the four day week – I loved it. Change can be hard but you’ve got to give things a go and see if they work. This particular… Continue reading I’m ready to pilot things
Doing a u-turn about this reverse parking policy
