4-D Leadership Program Used by NASA (Summer 2023)

Crazy Might Work launched on a Russian icebreaker in Antarctica in 2015 with a mission to equip leaders with the skills and tools for breakthrough transformation. We have worked with leaders in spaces ranging from aged care and intensive care to space itself.  Our Leading4Breakthrough program draws on the 4-D program used by NASA to create  the social context required for high performing teams.Crazy Might Work is known for pushing the boundaries of what is possible, with pragmatism, originality and humour. Our DisruptivebyDesign® program draws on over 100 years of insight research and incorporates practices from the disciplines of appreciative inquiry, cognitive and social neuroscience, systems and design thinking, aeronautical engineering and even game design to deliver breakthrough thinking and innovation. The company has been twice nominated as a finalist in the Australian MyBusiness Innovator of the Year awards, as well as the NSW Chamber of Commerce and ‘Talent Makes Future’ awards, hosted in China.

NASA 4-D Online Program in 2023

The NASA 4-Dimensional (4-D) system equips leaders with the tools and behaviours that translate social neuroscience into high-performing teams. Join one of our public online programs in 2023. Eight 90 minute sessions on consecutive Thursdays.

<h1>What is it?</h1><p>The explosion of<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUqPMMgfJ4Q&list=WL&index=1" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> Space Shuttle Challenger </a>rocked the world.  The 7 astronaut fatalities led to senate inquiries and the revelation that it was social context, not technical abilities, that led to this and other failures. </p><p>The 4-D program was developed to address back-to-back Mars mission failures and is designed to foster 8 key behaviours that have transformed life at NASA.</p><h2>Benchmark</h2><p>The 4-D program enables organisations to benchmark their teams against over 1,500 NASA project and engineering teams and more than 2,700 scientists, engineers and managers.</p>

<h2>4-Dimensions and 8 Leadership Behaviours</h2><p>These elements create a social context for high performance. </p><p>By balancing nurturing, including directing and visioning behaviours, the 4-D program resets the social context for highly functional teams.</p>
