Watch every episode of The Strategic Thinker, a web series created by the Spark leadership team with insights and strategies for running a highly profitable dental organization.
This series is designed specifically for executives of group dental practices and DSOs to increase the value of the dental enterprise.
If you want to grow your group practice and increase profitability, you need to enlist the support of the whole team. This means having conversations about the business side of dentistry so everyone understands important metrics and how to achieve company goals. Everyone contributes to profitability, so everyone should understand these business principles. In this video, Heather Driscoll and Melissa Thomas talk about some easy ways to begin having these business conversations with your whole dental team.
