This program acknowledges the critical importance of social context in project success and failure, equipping leaders with the skills they need to shift it. Leveraging the lessons learned by NASA about projects, and the experiences and research of the current space program, the 4-D program introduces eight leadership capabilities across four dimensions that will enable participants to design the social contract under which their team operates.
