Our solutions

Hands-on support for the business of your practice.

There are two ways to work with us: a one-time PRIME Practice Assessment, or an ongoing PRIME Performance Partnership. Both are built on the PRIME Performance System, your customized 10 Levers of Operational Success, and the Dale Ray Method.

Option 1: A one-time engagement

PRIME Practice Assessment

A clear, objective view of your practice and a prioritized plan, with no ongoing commitment.

The Dale Ray MethodStages included: Assess, Align

We evaluate your practice through the PRIME Performance System, identify your customized 10 Levers of Operational Success, and turn them into a prioritized operational improvement roadmap. You receive actionable recommendations and decide how to carry them out: on your own, with your team, or with us.

What it includes

  • An evaluation of your practice across all five PRIME pillars
  • Your customized 10 Levers of Operational Success
  • A prioritized operational improvement roadmap
  • Actionable recommendations, presented in plain language
  • No requirement to continue into an ongoing engagement

Option 2: An ongoing monthly engagement

PRIME Performance Partnership

We assess, prioritize, and then work alongside your leaders to make the changes last.

We assess your practice, identify your customized operational priorities, and then work alongside your leadership to implement improvements, develop team capabilities, establish accountability, and measure progress over time.

What it includes

  • A PRIME assessment and your customized 10 Levers
  • Implementation alongside your practice leadership
  • Leadership coaching and team development
  • Accountability for every priority we agree on
  • Progress measured against your scorecard over time

Two delivery options

  • Virtual Partnership

    Remote performance reviews, leadership coaching, operational planning, implementation support, and accountability.

  • Hybrid Partnership

    Everything in the virtual partnership, plus scheduled onsite practice visits for direct observation, team development, and hands-on implementation.

Because it includes onsite support, a hybrid partnership is a larger investment than a virtual one. The timing of onsite visits is planned with you around your practice’s needs.

Choosing an option

Start with clarity. Continue with support.

Some practices want a clear plan they can carry out themselves. Others want a partner to help them see it through. You can begin with an assessment and decide later whether ongoing support makes sense.
