Abstract
It is time to leave our consideration of the background of TDC in order to discuss and evaluate the underlying topics and assumptions. Our focus will now shift to the following questions:
-
What is TDC? What do I as a business manager have to know about TDC?
-
How is TDC different from conventional consulting approaches?
-
What do I have to expect from consultants?
-
What is a template?
-
How can I develop one?
-
What do I need to pay attention to when I do so?
-
How do I have to change when I am applying TDC?
-
What are the benefits of TDC for me as a manager?

The wider definition can also be referred to as an ‘HR policy’
For instance SAP R13 or specific software from PeopleSoft or Oracle. Additionally, an HR-IT system can serve as a portal for employees to check, for example, their time and vacation accounts, or for online recruiting.
