The [DIY Toolkit](https://media.nesta.org.uk/documents/diy-toolkit-full-download-a4-size.pdf) is a practical guide that helps individuals and groups develop their skills in #innovation and #problem-solving. The toolkit was developed by Nesta, a UK-based innovation charity, and is aimed at anyone who wants to create #social or #environmental #change. It is available for free download and can be used by individuals, community groups, and organizations around the world.
The toolkit provides a range of tools, techniques, and templates that can be used to develop and implement innovative solutions to #complex problems. It guides users through the #innovation process from problem identification to implementation, and includes worksheets, case studies, and tips for effective #teamwork.
