Organizational Applied Strategic Planning (OASP)
Strategic planning is worthless - unless there is first a strategic vision.
- John Naisbitt
Organizational Applied Strategic Planning and Consulting (OASP)
Organizational Applied Strategic Planning is the process by which the leadership of an organization envisions its best possible future and then creates the necessary goals, objectives, and systems to achieve that future. The end result is an action-oriented plan which guides effective, profitable, value enhancing systems and daily actions toward specific goals and objectives supportive of your organization's core values and vision. Our Organizational Applied Strategic Planning process is intended for dental associations, societies, academies, dental schools, group practices, and for-profit companies who desire a plan you will actually act upon.
Some outcomes of ASP can be as follows:
- To create a clear energizing vision and plan responsive to your organization’s needs, core values, and competencies that promotes continuity of purpose even as leadership changes. (Avoid Zig-Zag.)
- To raise the value for active involvement among all stakeholders. Special attention will be given to those segments whose participation would enhance your organization's impact and contribute to the attainment of your vision.
- To create a proactive Fiscal Plan that opens additional avenues of income, allowing your organization to strengthen income streams, control costs, and increase operational reserves. Well-executed ASP typically add at least 25% to the bottom-line EBITDA.
- To refine the recruitment, development, and alignment of your team and leadership in the context of your vison and Applied Strategic Plan. (Non-profit, volunteer organizations inadvertently become staff driven in lieu of member driven when the member leaders are not enlisted in the creation and execution of an ASP.)
- To proactively increase personal fulfillment for your increasingly diverse team.
- To invigorate and align existing departments and/or committees’ role in support of the Applied Strategic Plan.
- To create continuity of action over time regardless of changing leadership. (Prevent Zig-Zag.)
- To elevate effective communication across all levels of the organization.
- To develop a plan for the continuing innovation to support all of the above.
- To defeat competition.

“Bob Frazer has been a friend, mentor and teacher to me and many throughout dentistry and corporate America for the past 30 years I've known him. He is an accomplished speaker, an articulate communicator, an intensely detailed Strategic Planning leader, and a compassionate and affective personal and professional coach. His insights are unique, his application of principles of learning are critically important, and most important of all, he helps people reach their life's goals by helping them clearly establish their personal and professional vision of their most preferred future, and then guides them towards that end. He has impacted my business tremendously and I've watched as he has added directly to the bottom line of his clients with increased revenues, lower costs, higher profitability and greater peace and fulfillment. There are few in the workplace I could recommend as strongly as Bob Frazer and his team at R.L. Frazer and Associates.”

Dear Bob,
What a wonderful, rewarding, productive time. Thank you so much for all you did (and continue to do) to help bring the Dawson Center to its greater potential. In retrospect, I think every minute of the session was critically important to the process. Thank you (and Bill) for your magnificent leadership. And by the way, it was a really fun time. Looking forward to further progress.
Warmest regards,

Bob, once again during your presentation you could have heard a pin drop in the audience. Every doctor and dental nurse was riveted on your every word. I received countless comments on how interesting and useful everything you have shared during each of your presentations over the last four years has been. Thank you.

Great news!!! The Applied Strategic Plan passed unanimously and without debate!!! Your address and support played a major part of our success. The delegates were truly impressed and excited after your speech. As I ventured through the Caucuses, I could feel the energy and excitement. The Delegates got it. Change can and will take place. The most rewarding part for me was the acknowledgment by the Delegates that a certain amount of trust was needed on their part in order to take the next steps.

Applied Strategic Planning has been the most beneficial investment of time, energy and money we have ever made! Without it, I can't imagine what the future might look like. This powerful process and your leadership brought clarity to who we are, what we want to be and how to go about getting there. It made us create our future on purpose rather than just letting it happen. It focused us on a target and plan. At the same time it brought energy, enthusiasm, commitment and ownership to all participants. The words "Thank You" are not strong enough for all you have done for us!

I was impressed from the first moment you greeted us as we arrived after a day of travel ...I was impressed with your ability to translate your practical experience for the doctors and their teams ...One of the most significant benefits of thinking strategically is simplifying the process of determining goals, objectives and tactics. If a person learns nothing else from strategic thinking than how to ask the appropriate questions, they're on the right track. I believe the key selling point of Applied Strategic Planning is determining what is important and removing what isn't ...Bob, your passion for people and sharing wisdom is very inspiring ...meeting you and making a wonderful new friend has been a great experience for both of us.

Dr. Bob Frazer's Applied Strategic Planning changed my prosthodontic practice and my personal life from hopeless to hopeful. I learned specific tools from a master dentist and teacher who lives and breathes what he teaches. I was able to take the information back to my staff and use the information immediately. Since working with Bob, I sleep soundly at night, because I know the professional and personal decisions I make are right for me, my family and my team. Since taking your courses, every other speaker I hear, clinical or motivational, makes more sense. I don't leave any class feeling sad, because I don't know how I'm going to make the information I learned work for me! Since ASP, I know how to implement what I want. It has taken all of your courses and these years of practice to completely fit the entire puzzle, called life, together. Thank you!
