Google knows you’ve got to take time to think. It is rumored they ask their employees to spend one day a week working on their own projects. Do that math. Google is investing 20% of the engineering budget on thinking. I’m sure that nothing comes from a majority of those projects, but Google gets two wins out of the program. First, some of the projects create value for the company. It’s probably one in five, but that’s not the real value. Google is creating a culture of thinking by allowing their employees to wander about and bump into shit.
