The Iterative Transformation Model is a large and growing knowledge repository. So, for anyone new to the Model, let's begin with a brief model orientation to put the repository in context.
The Model's primary objective is to improve productivity. As such, it seeks to drive value from multiple, interrelated actions which relate to the definition and the delivery of transformative, enterprise-level change initiatives.
