Founded on Structured Thinking
TDG originated because of the lack of structured and systematic critical thinking observed during work with DOW, Disney, and NASA. With no common tools for thinking — "jump to cause" problem solving and "shoot from the hip decision making" — organizations consistently destroyed financial performance. That unmet need was the genesis for our proprietary thinking tools. Today, those same structured questions — refined over 30 years and now AI-accelerated — are the foundation of the MOVE Strategy System.

30 Years of Prompts. Now AI-Powered.
TDG's tools — both MOVE and KEPNERandFOURIE — are structured question sets. They are prompts. For 30+ years, the tools provided the questions. Human teams provided the processing power. Now AI is the engine. The same proven questions that delivered $2B+ in incremental EBITDA now get answered with unprecedented speed, depth, and analytical rigor. What took weeks takes hours. 30+ years of proven strategic prompts running on the most powerful analytical engine in history.

Chuck Kepner was one of the most influential figures in the history of corporate decision-making. A behavioral scientist from the University of Michigan, Kepner began at the RAND Corporation researching how people make decisions under pressure. His methods gained worldwide recognition when NASA engineers used them to bring Apollo 13 home safely. He partnered with Dr. Mat-thys Fourie in 1997 to co-found Thinking Dimensions — creating an approach that integrated rational, intuitive, and creative thinking into one practical system.
