Begin your “4-D Development Process” on this website with a “Team Development Assessment”. We have found that these 15-minute on-line processes are the best way to introduce your team 4-D Systems. Go to the “Assessments” tab on the right to learn more.

Working with teams is the most efficient way to enhance individuals’ leadership effectiveness. This is because you are managing the “fifth force,” the one that governs human behavior, “team social context.” (A “team” is a group of people who interact sufficiently to develop common behavioral norms.) Download the key files for the “Fifth Force” here.

The animation on the right shows the progress that recurrent Team Development Assessments (TDAs) stimulated in 200 NASA project and engineering teams.

"Charlie Pellerin invented a way for team members to achieve superior business performance and in the process live richer and more compassionate lives. By teaching us how to understand our customer's mindset and then to authentically shape our offering in response, he helped us win three major competitive proposals worth $9 billion."
- Greg Davidson, Director of Capture and Proposal Operations, Northrop Grumman Space Technology

Nothing will convince you of the effectiveness of these brief and potent tools like experiencing them. Visit our list of Preferred 4-D Network Providers and contact one for a free introductory TDA or IDA, or click here and we will assign one for you. They will either provide one assessment themselves or refer you to another provider who better fits your sitaution of country, language or industry.

Team Development Assessments (TDAs)
Simply put, these are the most effective performance enhancement (and risk reduction) tools in existence. Watch the animation on the left to see the effect of recurrent TDAs on team performance. The numbers are assessment scores, which we equate with team working efficiency.
You can review the language of a full TDA by clicking on TDA click-through. You can review a sample TDA report by clicking ABC Team Sample TDA Report.

Individual Development Assessments (IDAs)
TDAs measure the fifth force, “team social context,” that drives collective behavior by measuring team behavioral norms. IDAs are parallel instruments, measuring individuals’ behaviors, and thus their effect on team (and family) social context.
You can review the language of a full IDA by clicking on IDA click-through. You can review a sample IDA report by clicking John Smith Sample IDA Report.

Dr. Pellerin knows how NASA works from long experience within the organization, and years of collaboration with the agency from outside. What he has learned about how NASA puts together teams to attain out-of-this-world goals will help you and your organization achieve your goals.
