Introduction:
You’ll find all of the lessons you need to get a basic understanding of Operational Management business principles and how to successfully prepare Budgeting and Forecasting to improve the financial success of your dental practice!
Course content:
LESSON 1:
You’ll hear more about my practice experiences and how they made me realize I needed a more solid foundation in business. I’ll present an example of how my new business skills allowed me to make better decisions regarding acceptance of dental insurance programs in my practice; this information should help in your dental practice, too.
LESSON 2:
You’ll receive an in-depth presentation on Operational Management and how to develop a strategy to maximize profits.
LESSON 3:
Learn why Budgeting is necessary for strong financial planning. Then, you’ll discover how to model, plan and control a Budget.
LESSON 4:
After you have gained an understanding of Budgeting, you will find out how a tool called Forecasting can allow you to fine-tune the Operational Management of your practice as inevitable changes occur. You’ll learn how to prepare a dental practice Forecast and Practice Analysis that will allow you to visualize your progress quickly and easily.
At one of my seminars, I asked 40 dentists for a show of hands of those who did budgets; only one responded with a “yes”. Do you apply this basic Operational Management skill in your dental practice? Successful companies do – why not dentists?
You need to be able to gain a better understanding of how you can accurately predict and react to the opportunities and consequences of changes, anticipated or not, so that you can make intelligent business decisions and increase profits.
