My "first day back" was not only about getting back into gear with workflow - but also taking the pulse of The Extreme Business 100 members.
A sense check to see what, if anything, has changed in the last couple of weeks.
We have our weekly live webinar at 19:00 this evening and I asked my clients to let me have a quick SWOT analysis before the call.
Here's the briefest of summaries - how does your business compare?
Strengths
Patients are still spending money;
In the private sector clinical recruitment is picking up;
Good Google Reviews.
Weaknesses
Team members who aren't on the bus;
Clinicians who aren't on the bus;
Owner's exhaustion and overwhelm.
Opportunities
Expansion of premises to create more surgeries and/or more admin space;
New housing developments close by;
Amazing take up of dental plans;
TCOs getting better at their role;
Digital workflow;
Better treatment plan presentations;
Therapy-led maintenance.
Threats
Team not functioning because of internal saboteurs;
Poor leadership;
Poor time and task management;
A slow easing in the lack of access to local NHS dental services.
I'm also delighted that we welcomed a new member to The 100 yesterday - a South-Coast implant clinic that have reached a ceiling of growth and want to break through to the next level.
They have joined the right community for that.
Here's a quick PDF for your own SWOT.
