Hi, The first section of the report appears to be damaged - I can't access it. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Hi Sarah, I had the same problem with Google Chrome. I tried with Internet Explorer and managed to open the first part. It may just be a compatibility issue. Strange that it didn't occur with the other files though.

This framework is incredibly helpful. I really appreciate the distinctions between early/middle and late phases, the emphasis on context, organizational learning and capacity. Many thanks to those who developed this!
