Online Resources for Teams & Team Managers

As Team Managers begin their exciting journey of facilitating the creative problem solving process, they will turn over rocks to find interesting "Instant Challenge" Ideas, new learning programs, and creative idea starters for their teams. Here are some reportedly "favorite" websites.

www.idodi.org - The master resource for all DI programs and many DI Affiliates. Click around on the other Affiliate sites for more good ideas!

www.shopdi.org - Purchase your membership, learning kits, IC materials, apparel, and more

www.creativelearning.com - Get free PDFs about the CPS process and tools.

Shop DI Website makes Team Manager job pain-free (almost!)

Our greatest resources at this time are www.idodi.org and www.shopdi.org.

You need a www.shopdi.org account, which is free and easy to set up. You will use the email you set up with www.shopdi.org as your username at www.idodi.org. The passwords will be the same for both sites.

Idodi.org offers a valuable resource area, DI news, clarifications and Instant Challenges to practice. Also, there is basic information for those who are new to the program. Information regarding all of the DI, Inc. community programs can be found on www.shopdi.org. You can find memberships, kits, program materials, souvenirs and apparel. Happy Creative Problem Solving!
