   I’m a little wary of giving a definitive answer to this as some companies have there own acronyms. The only context I have come across DDT – Desktop Decision Training – design methods is in the military. I don’t know much about it but an example can be found at http://www.hfidtc.com/research/training/training-reports/phase-2/HFIDTC-2-4-6-2-1-decision-making-serious-games.pdf

   If that is not the right DDT, let’s hope others can offer a suitable alternative

2. Ask?

   Hi Kirsty

   I would ask the person who has requested that you use this technique to explain it to you – or at least tell you what the letters stand for.

   I appreciate it is sometimes difficult to admit we don’t know something, so how about saying this is a new technique for you and you would appreciate a bit of a steer in the right direction.

   Good luck

3. Thank you

    Thank you both Jenny and Graham for your responses.  I will go back and confirm with the person who asked me initially so I know I am on the right track!

   Hi Kirsty

   Could you come back and let us know what it stands for>

   I’m guessing one of the D’s is Design?? Acronym geek can’t decide either so he could be making it up? http://www.acronymgeek.com/DDT

   Thanks

5. the only one/nearest I’ve come across is…

    

   Define…the level of skill or knowledge required

   Diagnose….diagnose the curren actual level knowledge/skill

   Deliver….deliver an intervention to fill the gap

   Test…that the intervention has filled the gap and that the defined level required is now reached

   I hope that helps

8. I love the acronyms club

   Don’t you just love it when people use acronyms to make themselves feel more important and to put you down because you probably don’t understand – it’s like they think they’re in a select club.
