Business Outlook

Pros

- Executive leadership has made a very obvious investment in continuing to evolve and focus on culture and well-being at Tend. - Re-engagement in Mission, Vision, Values has been welcome and impactful but on top of that, a focus on hard skills and tools for operational excellence have been priortized.

Cons

- Need to keep breaking down silos. There is a clear eagerness to work with peers in other groups, but we need to keep re-evaluating existing processes that prevent smoother handoffs.

Business Outlook

Pros

Strong mission and brand that is working to modernize dentistry. The executive team is engaged and present in the studios and through town halls. There seems to be genuine caring for employees and patients. I like that there are clinical leaders on the executive team.

Cons

There has been a lot of change recently with a new CEO and some management changes. I believe most of these are for the better and it has not disrupted the business.
