The IEIT Model: A Deep Dive for Business Analysts (BAs)

This episode dives into the IEIT Model (developed by The Better Business Analysis Institute), a powerful framework for BAs to understand project types, select the right approach, and ultimately contribute to project success. The IEIT Model Explained: The IEIT Model categorizes projects based on two key dimensions: Innovation (New vs. Established): Does the project involve creating something entirely new (High Innovation) or optimizing existing solutions (Low Innovation)? Approach (Improvement vs. Transformation): Will the project make incremental improvements (Improvement) or fundamentally change the solution (Transformation)? By understanding these quadrants and their specific BA considerations, BAs can effectively leverage the IEIT Model to optimize project outcomes and contribute significantly to an organization's strategic goals.
