Original Presentation Date: October 19, 2019

Navigating the landscape of fee-for-service, oral systemic dentistry within today's dynamic and competitive environment presents unprecedented challenges and exceptional opportunities. Balancing the dual roles of managing a contemporary practice while serving as its principal producer can be likened to maneuvering a bicycle on a cobblestone street—demanding significant energy and attention, often leaving little room for deliberate strategic direction. This program draws upon a wealth of insights from seasoned professional business strategists associated with the world's most successful and profitable companies. It adapts these invaluable strategies to the context of dental practice management.
