In this episode of TechDental, Chris and Dr Randeep Singh Gill cover:
Why AI is a quantum change, not another piece of kit, and what that means for how you build your business around it.
The Y junction: sack people or create time. Why that decision determines whether AI compounds your business or consumes it.
The Golden Goose Practice: what it actually looks like operationally, the managing director and clinical director model, and why equity is the piece most owners miss.
Why the 30-year corporate acquisition cycle is ending, who is buying practices now, and what that means for anyone still planning a multimillion-pound exit.
The stepping stone patient journey and where AI changes every conversion point from first inquiry to signed treatment plan.
The one question to ask before adding any new system, platform, or tool to your business.
