Our approach

From an important objective to coordinated action.

TDRG brings order to assignments that cross institutions, stakeholders, timelines, and competing priorities.

A clear sequence. A flexible plan.

Important objectives rarely move in a straight line. A shared process keeps the team coordinated while conditions change.

01

Define

Clarify the decision, the objective, the constraints, and what success needs to look like.

02

Frame

Explain the issue clearly before others define it for you.

03

Align

Bring together the people whose authority, judgment, or participation the assignment requires.

04

Act

Coordinate policy, stakeholder, communications, and implementation efforts around one plan.

05

Adapt

Read the environment, test assumptions, and adjust without losing the objective.

Operating principles.

Strategy before access.

Relationships create possibilities. Strategy determines which possibilities matter.

Define the issue before others do.

The definition of the problem often determines the range of acceptable solutions.

Credibility is part of the strategy.

A position must withstand scrutiny from the people and institutions whose judgment matters.

Stay involved after the decision.

We help clients carry the strategy into coordination, implementation, and the next decision.

Begin with the decision in front of you.
