If you fail to plan, you plan to fail: the importance of project planning

11th March 2013

Work is now coming to end on the makeover and fit-out of our two new surgeries on the lower level of our dental clinic in the heart of Glasgow’s West End.

The brand new equipment is in situ, the painting’s complete and what looked very much like two empty shells now resemble 21st century state of the art surgeries, ready to welcome our first patients.

It’s an exciting finale to a major project which certainly didn’t start its development yesterday!

Around four years ago in fact was when I started with the plans for a new clinic.

Before anything started, I had completed full design, planning, contingency etc and now, despite splitting into three manageable phases with slight alterations along the way, that same plan is now nearing completion.

Planning is very much an essential starting point of all we do dentally – whether it’s for dental implants, a smile makeover or a specific cosmetic dentistry treatment – but it’s also an essential part of all we do.

Several other dentists in Glasgow have asked me for my most important tip in developing a new clinic.

To me it’s an easy answer – planning.

As the saying goes – if you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

That very in-depth, detailed planning has paid dividends in the evolution of the clinic. We’ll post some new photography as and when we’ve completed 100%.
