TDI is guided by two principles. The first is that all decisions should be based on the most accurate and reliable information available. The second is that TDI's role is to advise its client and stay quietly in the background unless otherwise directed. Based on an in-depth understanding of the client's objectives and needs, we acquire key information, we analyze the environment in which the client must operate, and we devise a strategy to achieve the client's objectives, be they in business, government or media.

Every client has specific requirements, and unique operating cultures. To ensure that our clients’ objectives are met and the confidentiality of their concerns maintained, TDI draws upon its global network to form project specific teams.

The company's greatest resource is its people, both in the U.S. and abroad. TDI's strategic partners share the firm's standards of excellence, ethics and best practices within their industries. We believe that our credibility with clients and the confidential relationships that develop are a direct result of our integrity and honesty as a strategic advisor.
