The Work in Progress studio team are experts in people ops, design, product, culture, and startups. In our journeys through the design and tech industry we were deeply frustrated by the scale of wasted energy, time, and money that went into building and scaling teams. We saw the very real negative impact on people’s careers, growth, and wellbeing.
So we brought together the smartest people we knew across design, product, culture, people, and engineering to focus on finding simple, user-centered solutions for building and maintaining teams as they scale. Solutions that serve the interests of companies and people.
Our model allows us to continuously feed the insights and data from our work into smarter, better tools and products to share with our communities and networks. A continuous cycle of learning and making…a constant work in progress.
Ultimately, we want to improve the quality of interactions between companies and their people, creating more time and structure for growth and development. Less time wasted, and more time focused on the things that really matter.

In 2020 the club returned home to Plough Lane, Wimbledon - to the brand new Cherry Red Records Stadium - a purpose-built long-awaited modern stadium with a 9,000 capacity and excellent corporate and event facilities, funded by the dedicated contributions of its fans. The original Wimbledon FC played just yards away for 70 years and achieved worldwide fame by going from non-league to the Premiership and beating Liverpool in the 1988 FA Cup Final.
Owned by its fans through membership of The Dons Trust, AFC Wimbledon exemplifies community spirit and fan engagement - with award-winning community schemes and charitable endeavours alongside its sporting achievements.
The club’s mens team play in League One, its women’s team also play the third tier of Womens football, and its Academy produces new generations of professional players while regularly beating the youth teams of Premier League and Championship sides.
It has the longest-standing shirt sponsorship deal in English football history (Sports Interactive) and a strong track record in partnering with brands seeking to harness the history, authenticity and global reach of this fan-powered football fairy-tale.
