In Memoriam
The ITK team members did an outstanding job of targeting a diverse set of participants for their interviews. The feedback they elicited helped identify new opportunities and add new color to known challenges. They consistently jump into unfamiliar territory with ambiguous guidance and drive meaningful discussions in an objective manner.
