title: Strategic planning. Part V of the dental management pyramid series.
abstract: Strategic planning is not something that should be taken lightly. It is the course by which you will map out your own personal future, as well as that of your practice. You cannot look ahead until you and your dental team are ready to accurately and responsibly assess the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats facing your practice today. Putting in the work to do so will leave you and your practice in a better position to grow and prosper in the long run.
