In this episode you will learn the difference between a DSO and a DEO. You will also hear how AI could lead to potential job losses in the dental industry.
Ken Kaufman shares insights and strategies to help dental businesses run more efficiently. Ken's background includes starting mobile and brick-and-mortar clinics, and securing financing for them. He was part of the team that developed the Nomad handheld x-ray device which later was sold to the Danaher Group.
He is the CFO at Nuvia Dental Implant Centers and previously served as the CFO of Community Dental. Ken holds an MBA in finance and entrepreneurship and authored the book DEO's Financial Secrets To Grow Dental Organizations, which offers advice for solo practitioners, expanding practices, and formal DSOs.
Ken discusses that he believes AI could be disruptive, leading to potential job loss for knowledge workers, but also hopes it will enable dentists to help patients in less invasive ways and in a faster manner, ultimately benefiting the industry as a whole. Additionally, AI could create more consistency throughout the industry, fostering patient confidence.
Ken advocates for the dental industry to become more financially savvy and encourages dentists to join the DEO group. Members gain access to assets, tools, mastermind groups, and other resources that help them learn to grow and succeed.
Ken acknowledges that dentists are intelligent people who have learned how to be dentists, but they may not have had the opportunity to develop business skills in all necessary areas. He aims to help bridge this gap. To connect with Ken, find him on Facebook or LinkedIn under Ken Kaufman.
