Who is behind Fractal Minds?

Fractal Minds was founded and is directed by Dr. Crighton Nichols.

Crighton excels at helping organisations figure out what they should be doing, and how to do it better. Typically, this occurs at the nexus between strategy and leadership. He is passionate about harnessing the creative potential of diverse stakeholders when collaborating on inspirational challenges that benefit society at a systemic level. For over twenty years he has been leading and enabling the transformation of organisations, from re-imagining the ways knowledge professionals create value by designing and implementing bespoke AI solutions to augment their efforts (something he has been doing for over a decade!), to delivering digital platforms to scale the impact of educational programs across entire nations, to co-designing leadership programs that weave together the best of Indigenous and Western science and wisdom, to revolutionising the way we live, work, and play by opening up the third dimension in travel (the sky!) to allow point-to-point aerial transport without the need for specialist infrastructure.

Crighton is a certified 5R Leadership Facilitator (the most researched and proven leadership development program in the world). He has a PhD in Cross-Cultural Design & Innovation, a Masters degree in Development Studies, a Bachelor of Engineering (Hons I - Computer Systems), and a Bachelor of Science (Physics).
