What Education is Right for my organization?
If your organization is on the Demand Driven Adaptive Enterprise (DDAE) Development Path the Demand Driven Institute has a number of educational products to help your organization stay and progress down that path. Below is a graphic that will help your organization understand what educational products are available to help progress and sustain the DDAE Development Path.
DDI Educational products
The Adaptive Enterprise Foundations (AEF)™ Program
The Adaptive Enterprise Foundation (AEF)™ program is designed to demonstrate the conceptual differences between conventional supply chain approaches dominated by MPS, MRP and DRP and the emerging flow-based approaches including the Demand Driven Adaptive Enterprise (DDAE) Model. The Demand Driven Supply Chain Fundamentals program is comprised of 4 chapters of in-depth education over two days. The DDSCF Program is THE official preparatory course for the Adaptive Enterprise Foundations Professional (AEFP)™ certification test.
The Adaptive S&OP Seminar™
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. Learn more about this game-changing offering.
The Adaptive Systemic Thinking™ Program
This program is commonly used to start or sustain a Demand Driven transformation. Through a blend of instructive formats participants learn a repeatable systemic problem-solving process, apply that process to a defined topic within their organization and learn and internalize the building blocks for sensing, adapting and innovating across the supply chain (customers and suppliers) for continual ROI improvement. The ASTP is intended for strategic level personnel and/or their direct reports. Examples include organizational, divisional and functional leaders, individuals responsible for implementing and guiding major initiatives, and internal consultants and/or corporate change agents. The seminar can delivered on an in-house basis to leadership teams. The program can be extremely effective with leadership teams looking to take and keep the company at the high stages of the DDAE Development Path. The ASTP can be utilized to start a transformation and/or sustain an improve an implementation.
The Demand Driven Planner (DDP)™ Program
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
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). Designed by the leading authorities on Demand Driven methods at the Demand Driven Institute, the Demand Driven Leader program is comprised of 6 modules of in-depth Demand Driven education. The DDL Program is THE official preparatory course for the Demand Driven Leader Professional (DDLP)™ endorsement certification test.
The Demand Driven Operations (DDO)™ Program
The Demand Driven Operations (DDO)™ program is an eight-hour extension program available for those that have gone through DDI’s Demand Driven Planner (DDP) program. The program assumes a deep technical knowledge of DDMRP and will address in depth the other aspects of the Demand Driven Operating Model (DDOM) including operational metrics, control point scheduling, time and capacity buffer management and the struggle between cost and flow in operations. The program offers unique content not found in the DDP or Demand Driven Leader (DDL) programs. The program is ideal for those in an operational scheduling and/or supervisory role or those that are wishing to gain a full appreciation of the entire DDOM. The DDO program is THE official preparatory course for the Demand Driven Operational Professional (DDOP)™ endorsement certification test.
DDMRP Implementation Support™ Workshop
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. Visit the Implementation Support page for more information.
Demand Driven Adaptive Enterprise Introduction
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). It is the way that successful businesses will work in the 21st Century. 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.
