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
“Bob Frazer has been a friend, mentor and teacher to me and many throughout dentistry and corporate America for the past 30 years I've known him. He is an accomplished speaker, an articulate communicator, an intensely detailed Strategic Planning leader, and a compassionate and affective personal and professional coach. His insights are unique, his application of principles of learning are critically important, and most important of all, he helps people reach their life's goals by helping them clearly establish their personal and professional vision of their most preferred future, and then guides them towards that end. He has impacted my business tremendously and I've watched as he has added directly to the bottom line of his clients with increased revenues, lower costs, higher profitability and greater peace and fulfillment. There are few in the workplace I could recommend as strongly as Bob Frazer and his team at R.L. Frazer and Associates.”

Bob, once again during your presentation you could have heard a pin drop in the audience. Every doctor and dental nurse was riveted on your every word. I received countless comments on how interesting and useful everything you have shared during each of your presentations over the last four years has been. Thank you.

Dr.Robert Frazer facilitated a day and a half program on "The Art and Science of Designing Your Future: From Vision to Reality" for the Greater Chesapeake Study Club, which is a Seattle Study Club. The program was truly excellent and well received by all of the participants. Dr. Frazer provided a wonderful opportunity for introspection and assisted the participants in developing personal vision and mission statements for all aspects of their lives. He guided the group in developing meaningful goals, objectives, and integrated action plans. He is a deep thinker and was able to fully engage our members throughout the process. He is very energetic, an excellent presenter, and a great motivator. The feedback has been outstanding and the program was rated as one of our very best. W.

“I have known Bob personally since the mid 1970's and have been a part of his Applied Strategic Planning series in the 90's and have continued to use Bob as a Mentor, being a part of his National Study Group for the past eight years. I can highly recommend him for his incredible expertise in helping you to Know and Truly Understand Yourself, Your Team and Your Personal Life. He has provided a web of intriguing ideas which have virtually transformed my life since I began working with him. And this is not to mention the people he has exposed me to, whom I would have never crossed paths with had I not known Bob. I place Bob at the same level as The Pankey Institute in changing the paradigms of my life and practice.” June 10, 2010

Bob, you are a rare individual with a wide array of talents that will prove invaluable to any organization that is fortunate enough to choose to work with you. Although, you knew very little about the laser industry, you quickly came up to speed through your exceptional listening and synthesizing capabilities.
Your passion for the critical importance of vision and strategic planning just radiates from you and is highly contagious. You can certainly prove that by seeing the folks here at Incisive. We always feel better about who we are and what it is we're doing, especially after spending time with you. Simply put, you resonate beautifully.
I wish you continued success as you grow your true calling of Applied Strategic Planning and as you transform organizations and their people into the best they can become. To say you're a dentist who is trained in strategic planning may be the understatement of the decade! You may be a dentist who has and is helping others have an exemplary practice, but you are a born visionary! I firmly believe that any entrepreneurial organization that wants to thrive in today's turbulent times would benefit from Applied Strategic Planning under your capable leadership. Thank you, Bob!

What Participants are Saying
Years before Lucy & I attended your Applied Strategic Planning seminar you had been instrumental in helping me change my office from one in which I was a benevolent dictator to one in which everyone played a role in planning and carrying out shared visions and goals. The ASP Series gave Lucy & me the tools to complete the very important transition to retirement. It really took work to achieve our goals as we proceeded into retiring. Your whole process in the seminar truly guided us each step of the way and for this I will always been indebted to you. My office was truly grateful also. I wanted this to be a win-win-win situation for Lucy & me, for my staff (as many had been with me 25 – 30 yrs) and finally, for my patients. Your ASP Series was vital in me achieving these three goals.

What Participants are Saying
Dr. Bob's Applied Strategic Planning Series has changed the way I live my life on a daily basis. ASP helped me to learn how to think for the future, realizing that even small daily decisions are either contributing to or taking away from my vision of the best possible life for myself. It also helped me to actually create the vision for that "best possible life" for myself - something I had not put much thought into!! It is a continual process and a revolutionary way to think and plan for a wonderful life, whatever that may be for you. I highly recommend this course if you are interested in learning how to create the life you wish to experience.

I have to add my name to the list of those who sing your praise! The two-year experience of working with you on Applied Strategic Planning has been one of the truly great experiences of my time in dentistry. I believe that one of the highest titles that can be given to an individual is "teacher". You certainly have the right to that title, and we deeply appreciate what you have taught us!
