070: Setting Apart Base-Level and Elite-Level Practices

Episode 60 talked about quarterly calibration with Mark’s method (The 4 Disciplines of Execution). THIS episode is from Kiera’s point of view using Gino Wickman’s Entrepreneurial Operating System from his book Traction: Get a Grip on your Business. The good news: While the vocabulary between the two might be different, the ideas are the same — successful quarterly calibration meetings improve dental practices every single day.

Kiera explains the details behind the agenda points below (which you can find online!):

1. Segue
2. Ice breaker activity
3. Review of previous quarter
4. Build issues list*
5. Establish rocks*
6. Tackle key issues
7. Next steps
8. Rate the meeting

* These steps are interchangeable.

But what if a single person or department is taking all the blame for ineffective office management? These meetings can get uncomfortable, but they’re necessary to progressing the practice. Make sure you have the right people in the right seats, people who want the business to grow and will push themselves to do better.
