I believe ITIL is fundamental, but not really directly tied to transformation initiatives.  Transformation initiatives would require, on top of ITIL, cultural mind shifts, training, upskilling, etc.  Transformations require far more soft skills for IT to consume than they traditionally have, and I don't think ITIL can really help on that front.
