Lead Like a CFO: Financial Leadership for Dental Practice Leaders
You built a successful practice through clinical expertise. But how confident are you that you are making the financial decisions that will maximize its potential?
Lead Like a CFO is a 2 day executive education program designed specifically for dental practice leaders who want to better understand what drives profitability, identify opportunities to improve financial performance, and make smarter decisions about where to invest their time and money.
From staffing and technology investments to growth opportunities and long term practice value, participants will learn how to evaluate financial decisions through a CFO lens and better understand which decisions create value and which can quietly erode it.
Led by Dr. Mohan Venkatachalam, R.J. Reynolds Professor of Business Administration at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business, the program will help participants:
👉 Better understand what is really driving profitability in their practice
👉 Identify the financial KPIs that reveal where they are creating or losing value
👉Evaluate investments in technology, people, and infrastructure based on their potential to create value
👉Make more informed decisions about growth, expansion, and other significant financial opportunities
👉Understand their practice as a financial asset and the factors that influence its long-term value
👉Leave Duke with a practical 90-day CFO roadmap to apply in their practice
