The 11 Numbers Every Practice Owner Needs to Know

Most practice owners don’t have a time problem. They have an information problem. You work harder, stay busy, and solve problems all day - yet still feel like you’re not fully in control. That’s because you’re missing the numbers that actually drive performance.

What You'll Learn

In 60 minutes, Dr Dave Nicol will show you how to:

  • Identify the 11 key metrics that drive performance across your entire practice

  • Spot where problems are quietly building before they escalate

  • Understand exactly where performance is leaking - and why

  • Turn your existing data into clear, confident decisions

  • Focus your time on what actually moves the practice forward

What You'll Get

Alongside the session, you’ll receive the Practice Performance Scorecard - a simple tool to help you track the numbers that matter.

  • See your practice performance at a glance

  • Track trends and spot issues early

  • ocus your attention where it has the biggest impact

  • Reduce noise and avoid unnecessary firefighting

  • Highlight clear areas to adjust so your team can take more responsibility and reduce pressure on you
