OPTIMIZE PRACTICE ALLIANCE ANNOUNCES THE OPTIMIZE ACADEMY FOR DENTAL ENTREPRENEURS BRINGING TOGETHER DENTAL INDUSTRY TITANS DR. JACK BAYRAMYAN, JOSHUA GWINN, ERIC NUSS, AND EXPERT FACULTY TO TRANSFORM THEIR DENTAL PRACTICES’ PROFITABILITY, SCALE, AND LEADERSHIP
DENVER, CO (June 4, 2024) – Optimize Practice Alliance announced today its inaugural program of the Optimize Academy—a year-long program that combines the insights of a micro-MBA with an invaluable community and mentorship previously unavailable in the dental community.
The Optimize Academy program combines deep business insights, practical applications, mentorship and community, and a retreat experience to help dental entrepreneurs group flourishing businesses. It is founded on the principles of Dr. Jack Bayramyan’s best-selling Extraction, a process Dr. Jack Bayramyan used to build, scale, and successfully sell his business: Kid’s Dental Place.
“When I was building my dental practice group, I experienced so much frustration and isolation as I worked to grow and scale my business. Through many years of trial and error, I built a process that works to help dental entrepreneurs grow and scale their business, without sacrificing their personal well-being. Through the Optimize Academy, my aim is to help dentists transform their businesses and their lives,” Dr. Jack Bayramyan, President, Founder, and Chief Clinical Officer.
“Over the years, I have met thousands of dentists who could benefit from this kind of practical business learning in an invigorating and community-based environment. We are eager to help dental entrepreneurs apply the same meticulous approach to their businesses as they do to difficult dental cases,” Eric Nuss, MBA, Director of Business and Financial Education.
“The business climate in dentistry today is not immune to the pressures elsewhere in the economy—downward pressure from payers and patients and rising costs from suppliers and team members. With the Optimize Academy, we aim to put dentists back in the driver’s seat—giving them the tools not just to survive, but to thrive,” Joshua Gwinn, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder.
Optimize Academy Programs meet quarterly for two-day workshops, focusing on
- Extract – Developing vision, mission, values, and norms; using Extraction to build a strategic growth plan with key performance indicators in a business; and communicating effectively as a leader.
- Engage – Maximizing cash flow management, expanding and exiting your practice, building systems and processes.
- Optimize – Developing teams, culture, and leadership skills; understanding talent management and human resources.
- Imagine – Building your purpose and five-year plan; exploring growth strategies and exit options.
