DDI Education

The Adaptive Enterprise Foundations (AEF) program is designed to introduce individuals working in all areas to the components which are necessary to making an organization truly adaptive. An "adaptive" organization is able to quickly and dynamically adjust its structure and behavior to the changing state and exigences of its environment in the short term (operational) as well as in the long term (strategic).

The AEF Program is THE official preparatory course for the Adaptive Enterprise Foundations Professional (AEFP)™ certification test.

The Demand Driven Planner (DDP) program is designed for planning, purchasing and supply chain personnel responsible for maintaining a DDMRP implementation. Designed by the leading authorities on DDMRP at the Demand Driven Institute, the Demand Driven Planner program is comprised of 13 modules of in-depth DDMRP education.

The DDP Program is the official preparatory course for the Demand Driven Planner Professional (DDPP)™ certification exam.

The Demand Driven Leader (DDL) program equips senior and mid-level operations and supply chain managers with the ability to design, implement and sustain a Demand Driven Operating Model including parameter settings through Demand Driven S&OP (DDS&OP). The Demand Driven Leader program is comprised of 7 modules of in-depth Demand Driven education.

The DDL Program is the official preparatory course for the Demand Driven Leader Professional (DDLP)™ certification exam.

Demand Driven Institute Affiliates and Compliant Software Providers can support your implementation with the official Demand Driven Institute DDMRP Implementation Support Pack. This is a very full one day workshop that is designed to give teams a broad understanding of what DDMRP is and what it takes to properly support it.

The Adaptive System Thinking Program™ was developed over a 20 year time span and has proven itself across a wide variety of environments. Based primarily on the thinking processes of the Theory of Constraints, the AST™ is a streamlined but extremely effective vehicle to learn a process of strategic thinking that will leave an indelible mark on the way a person looks at problems and solutions within a system.

The Demand Driven Adaptive Enterprise (DDAE) Model spans the operational, tactical and strategic ranges of an organization allowing it to continuously and successfully adapt to the complex and volatile supply chains we see today. It combines the fundamental principles of flow management with the emerging new science of complex adaptive systems (CAS). This day long workshop will prove a compelling need for change, demonstrate fundamental solution principles and reveal a blueprint to transform the entire enterprise. It is intended for senior management teams.

Adaptive S&OP is the strategic component of the Demand Driven Adaptive Enterprise (DDAE) Model. This seminar is designed for executive teams looking to dramatically change the trajectory of their organization and overhaul the way the business connects strategy to operations and operations to strategy. The seminar is typically delivered on an in-house basis to executive teams.

The Demand Driven Operations Professional (DDOP)™ is a professional endorsement certification offered by the Demand Driven Institute. The DDOP™ is earned by an individual who can analyze an environment, place control points and time and apply demand driven scheduling and execution concepts. The endorsement is intended as an extension from the DDPP™. An individual achieves DDOP™ endorsement by successfully completing a rigorous test, and is then issued an electronic certificate and badge for use with social media profiles.
