Demand Driven Institute (DDI) is a global think tank based in Globe, Arizona, founded in 2011 by Carol Ptak and Chad Smith. The organization focuses on advancing Demand Driven methodologies and practices, offering a broad educational suite designed to help companies implement and sustain a Demand Driven Operating Model (DDOM) and the Demand Driven Adaptive Enterprise (DDAE). Its work includes defining and certifying end-to-end capabilities, with professional endorsement certificates that identify expertise in applying Demand Driven principles in planning, operations, and value creation. DDI also evaluates software for its ability to support DDMRP implementations, providing objective certifications intended to inform buyers about a software’s suitability for Demand Driven requirements. The institute operates through affiliates, compliant software alliances, and instructors worldwide, positioning itself as a leading authority in helping organizations navigate the volatility and ambiguity of modern business environments. Recent partnerships with Ptak S.A and IPros illustrate ongoing global collaboration to proliferate Demand Driven strategies and practices.
