NASA-4D Leadership Course
You Are About To Get 4-Dimensional
Overview
Get your 8 insights into what NASA learned to become the best place in government 11 years running
You may have seen footage of the explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster that rocked the world and wondered what happened?
The 7 astronaut fatalities and other subsequent failed missions led to senate inquiries and NASA’s eventual realisation that those disasters were due to social context, and not technical incompetence.
Learn how NASA turned this around to become the Best Place to Work in federal government for the 11th year in a row. See why NASA’s 4-Dimensional Leadership program has been voluntarily completed by over 1,500 NASA leaders and teams.
Discover the 8 practical behaviours that have enabled leaders to shift social context, build trust, and establish a compelling sense of shared purpose.

Paul Hawkins
Chief Combobulator
Paul is the Chief Combobulator at Crazy Might Work, an award-winning, for-purpose innovation agency – and the first to be launched in Antarctica.
Prior to founding Crazy Might Work, Paul worked for multi-nationals in over 20 countries, on programs ranging from mergers and acquisitions to global shared services. In 2005, he left the corporate world to start a cross-border mergers and acquisitions advisory firm, and, in 2015, took the plunge again, founding Crazy Might Work to provide leadership development and breakthrough thinking capabilities to multi-nationals, governments, agencies, and not-for- profits.
He is certified in neuroscience, innovation, Lego® Serious Play® and appreciative inquiry through the Neuro-Leadership Institute, Stanford and Case Western Universities, respectively. He facilitates the 4-D program used by NASA and chairs the board of a community services not-for-profit, as well as events like World Forum Disrupt and the Humans in Space Summit.
Paul is currently completing a doctorate in breakthrough innovation, whilst at the same time preparing for a charity boxing event, which he says makes him the only person on the planet who is actively becoming cleverer and stupider at the same time.
Melanie Farmer
Concierge of Co-Creation
Melanie has a Masters degree in Innovation and Marketing and is currently completing a Masters degree in Biomimicry. Previously, she launched a successful digital startup in the UK, creating impetus for her next move into the innovation consulting arm at the University of Sussex Innovation Centre in the UK.
There, she co- designed hundreds of business models, ranging from the electric car charging posts to game design. In that capacity, she contributed to winning awards such as ‘UK Business Incubator of the Year’ and the ’Queen’s Award for Enterprise’. She was asked to deliver innovation keynotes to the European Union and to judge the prestigious Eureka Prize.
More recently, in the Australian university sector, she has negotiated and managed multi-million-dollar cross-sector research projects, launched investor networks and turned cultures around (winning an international award for impact in this arena). She now co-facilitates the NASA 4-D program for high-performing teams and is the first Australian businesswoman to qualify in the practice of biomimicry. She lives with her husband and dog, Holly, at the foot of the Blue Mountains in Sydney and plays piano, guitar and kayaks on the Nepean River for a change of pace.
