Organizational Applied Strategic Planning (OASP)

Thank you so much for the fabulous Applied Strategic Planning sessions for the International College of Dentists. I have attached the final report with the Integrated Action Plans (IAP's) that were approved by the Board of Regents last fall in San Francisco. We have updated the IAP's for our Executive review held in January; I could send you those if you wish. Please let me know too if you would also like a scanned electronic copy of the report.

It is an exciting thing to see the wheels moving forward...with a firm direction no less.

Thank  you for all the work you have done to assist us in seeing the path to becoming a better organization. It is very much appreciated.

Incredible! These tools [from the Personal Applied Strategic Planning Series] are a lifelong gift. I can now map the road to my vision and I'm confident I will realize much of it well before five years. I've already experienced better balance and self-awareness. I'm more satisfied in my life and work. We got so much: team building and commitment to this plan/accountability/personal clarity ...the integrated action plans are the best part!!! I have a growing passion toward my future! Thanks so much! I can't say enough about the Applied Strategic Planning experience and how it impacted our office. Dr. Frazer and his team have a way of teaching that is very different from any of the ways we've approached vision, mission and goals in the past. This process was very powerful for me and my team, both personally and professionally. It has given us a structure that we can continue to build on as we intentionally create the practice and lives of our dreams. I highly recommend it to everyone! [Eighteen months after the end of ASP, working no more clinical hours, Dr. Watts reported production and collections rose such that the practice was up 49% in just the past 12 months! And, they have never done as many major cases.]

Your insights have helped shepherd me on my "journey" to a practice of continual excellence. Your Strategic Planning Series was outstanding in providing tools to create and attain the vision that I have had in the back of my mind for several years.

As I think back on your ASP Series that I was involved with several years ago, I realize it was the beginning of a process that has allowed me to grow in the direction of my dreams. The thought progression and introspection gained through the series allowed me to clarify what I actually wanted in my journey. The methods you taught have proven invaluable not only in my practice, but other aspects of my life as well. I am thankful for your mentoring and friendship in my continuing pursuit of growth.

“Bob is one of the finest human beings on this planet. Through his vast knowledge and compelling coaching style, Bob helped me build the practice of my dreams. His stategies for visualizing your success and setting a course for reaching your goals are sound and proven. Far more important, however, is who Bob is rather than what he knows. He leads by example, always taking the high road, yet never leaving one with a sense of arrogance or impatience. His courage is palpable and his cup is always completely full. Anyone who aspires to high achievement will do well to fly with this eagle.”

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.

I wish we had been doing co-diagnosis 100 years sooner. I think what you've developed is a very powerful yet comfortable process. It really fits people into the practice where they want to be without violating their integrity. I am very grateful for the work you've done!

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!

Thanks for an exceptional presentation yesterday (to the Indianapolis Study Club)! Everyone thought it was terrific. More importantly, it has started everyone thinking and re-examining their possibilities. For me, our Thursday dinner and the Friday meeting have given me some important ideas to think about. It has been a very positive experience!
