Organizational Applied Strategic Planning (OASP)
Strategic planning is worthless - unless there is first a strategic vision.
- John Naisbitt
Organizational Applied Strategic Planning and Consulting (OASP)
Organizational Applied Strategic Planning is the process by which the leadership of an organization envisions its best possible future and then creates the necessary goals, objectives, and systems to achieve that future. The end result is an action-oriented plan which guides effective, profitable, value enhancing systems and daily actions toward specific goals and objectives supportive of your organization's core values and vision. Our Organizational Applied Strategic Planning process is intended for dental associations, societies, academies, dental schools, group practices, and for-profit companies who desire a plan you will actually act upon.
Some outcomes of ASP can be as follows:
- To create a clear energizing vision and plan responsive to your organization’s needs, core values, and competencies that promotes continuity of purpose even as leadership changes. (Avoid Zig-Zag.)
- To raise the value for active involvement among all stakeholders. Special attention will be given to those segments whose participation would enhance your organization's impact and contribute to the attainment of your vision.
- To create a proactive Fiscal Plan that opens additional avenues of income, allowing your organization to strengthen income streams, control costs, and increase operational reserves. Well-executed ASP typically add at least 25% to the bottom-line EBITDA.
- To refine the recruitment, development, and alignment of your team and leadership in the context of your vison and Applied Strategic Plan. (Non-profit, volunteer organizations inadvertently become staff driven in lieu of member driven when the member leaders are not enlisted in the creation and execution of an ASP.)
- To proactively increase personal fulfillment for your increasingly diverse team.
- To invigorate and align existing departments and/or committees’ role in support of the Applied Strategic Plan.
- To create continuity of action over time regardless of changing leadership. (Prevent Zig-Zag.)
- To elevate effective communication across all levels of the organization.
- To develop a plan for the continuing innovation to support all of the above.
- To defeat competition.

What Participants are Saying
Regarding "Attracting, Selecting, and Retaining High Achievers: A Hiring Program" November 25, 2012 Dear Bob and Angela, Sandy and I want to thank you for the enormous assistance you provided in helping us find an administrator for our Dermatology practice. Your formula to find an eagle to lead our office was a seasoned, systematic approach. It allowed us to identify and select a candidate that was a wonderful fit, taking into account technical abilities, aptitudes, experience and personality. During the process, we also learned a lot about ourselves, and as a result, how to better interface with this eagle. Working with you was also extremely enjoyable for us. Both of you were genuinely enthusiastic, friendly and fun to deal with during each step of the process. Our new administrator has now been with us for 3 months, which has given us time to assess her abilities and potential. We are very comfortable that you have helped us choose wisely, and that we selected an administrative leader who will help our practice grow and make our lives easier. We thank you very much for your committed, knowledgeable and kind help.

Bob Frazer speaks the truth. Under the mentorship of Bob, our practice has transformed from a good practice to an insurance independent, relationship based practice. We see fewer patients, present ideal treatment with high case acceptance. Most patients have managed care plans and visit us out of plan to seek higher quality and customer service. Fewer patients, full fee, less stress---you do the math!

I want to personally thank you for all the work you have put into making the ASP process a success for our 13 doctor group. We could not have gone through this without your guidance, hands-on care and enthusiasm. My only regret is that I will not be with you as frequently as during this past year. My hope is to get with you at other courses and activities you offer to continue to grow both my leadership and our friendship. I look forward to our future experiences together.

We have come a long way since March! One of the greatest opportunities of this (Organizational Applied Strategic Planning) process was the chance to get to really know you and appreciate you in many different ways. We did a lot of work and there's more to do, but we should all be proud of what we have accomplished. Your participation was powerful and important. For that I acknowledge you on behalf of the Missouri Dental Association. Know that through your vision and thoughtfulness, you and other members of the committee have set a path for the MDA to follow for the next five years.

The NSC is such a big part of my life and things will never be the same. The world is opening up in such a beautiful environment and I am so grateful.

Dr. Bob Frazer's Applied Strategic Planning changed my prosthodontic practice and my personal life from hopeless to hopeful. I learned specific tools from a master dentist and teacher who lives and breathes what he teaches. I was able to take the information back to my staff and use the information immediately. Since working with Bob, I sleep soundly at night, because I know the professional and personal decisions I make are right for me, my family and my team. Since taking your courses, every other speaker I hear, clinical or motivational, makes more sense. I don't leave any class feeling sad, because I don't know how I'm going to make the information I learned work for me! Since ASP, I know how to implement what I want. It has taken all of your courses and these years of practice to completely fit the entire puzzle, called life, together. Thank you!

You've got to be kidding if you say "I've never heard of Bob Frazer." He has helped hundreds of dentists fulfill their dreams including mine. The sooner you do Applied Strategic Planning the better. No one is too young or old to do this life-changing experience.
