Stuart brings 30 years’ experience advising health sector boards on strategy, ownership and succession.
State of dental industry and implications for practice ownership changes
Across New Zealand, dental practices are navigating a changing ownership landscape. For some, the focus is on succession, stepping back, or exiting well. For others, it’s about how to buy in, partner, or take on ownership for the first time. This session brings both perspectives together — recognising that successful transitions depend on alignment between current owners and the next generation.
Learning outcomes
The session will cover: • How ownership transitions typically work • Common challenges in succession and buy-in arrangements • What drives value — from both seller and buyer perspectives • Structuring partnerships, partial sales, and full exits • Practical steps to prepare, whether you’re stepping out or stepping in
