FutureFridays: A chance for everyone

It’s probably no surprise that 1.8 billion people globally use Gmail. But what you might not know is that the service was invented as part of Google’s ‘20% time’ policy, where staff were encouraged to down tools and give one-fifth of their work schedules over to innovation and forward-thinking.

This month, we officially launch FutureFridays™. From here on out, we’ll have a four-day week of designing and delivering stellar visual data projects for our clients. Then every Friday, both our business pods (Sustainability and EdTech) will turn their attention to solving a sector-wide problem through data in a quarterly sprint. 

That’s where you come in. If you have a brief that could spark R&D/innovation in Sustainability or the Future of Work, we want to hear about it.

As part of FutureFridays™, we’re inviting clients past, present and future to get involved: from idea generation and focus groups at the design stage through to beta testers for our prototype solutions.

FutureFridays™ is also a chance for our network of data specialists to flex their problem-solving muscles. Already we’ve worked with:

• Valerio Pellegrini (January), International Design Award 2021, Honourable Mention
• Tiziana Alloci (February), Information is Beautiful Awards Gold Award 2019
• Piero Zagami (March), Shorthand Awards, Courageous Newcomer

The 100-80-100 model has shown that companies can be 100% productive in 80% of the time. With our agile approach, I believe infogr8 is best placed to do exactly that, while giving that remaining 20% over to activities with genuine reach when it comes to social impact and our push towards demonstrating Data for Everyone®.

The ask: We’re on the hunt for organisations to join and help shape our FutureFridays initiatives. Apply for your slot today.
