Iteration Lab is a project-advancement triage center within Georgetown University’s Communication, Culture, and Technology program. Iteration Lab deploys a three-part development framework pioneered by its directors, Profs. Evan Barba and J.R. Osborn, to help participants identify and transition projects into their next phase of development.
The uniqueness of our approach lies in a universal framework that applies iterative methods regardless of discipline, application, domain, or goal. We meet participants where they are, addressing whatever situation they bring to the table, and define useful outcomes that advance collaborative problem-solving.
Cross-Iteration is the one of the 3 methods in our framework. During cross-iteration, we peel away layers of fundamental, hidden, or flawed assumptions to uncover the roots of an issue, where change can be most effective. By identifying points of failure and iterating to remove and recalibrate, Iteration Lab can revitalize broken ideas and restore trust. Learn more about the other two methods, de-iteration and re-iteration.
