Ilda is a young dentist who accomplished a specialization in orthodontics in 2014. Having an entrepreneurial spirit she initiated her own business by opening a dental studio. Dr. Giovanni Manes Gravina is a professor in Specialization School of Orthognatodontics at the University of L’Aquila (Italy). He has also been running his dental studio in Rome successfully since 1990 along with being consultant of orthodontics in several dental clinics.
The six-months collaboration with prof. Gravina was very successful. From the beginning until the end of the exchange, Ilda was fully involved in almost all the tasks performed by a dental business owner. This included appointments scheduling, clients relationships management, suppliers day-to-day management, marketing and promotional activities, team meetings and strategic decision making.
Besides further boosting up professional capacities as orthodontist, Ilda acquired additional entrepreneurial skills as well as learned to use new tools to manage her business through a tailored software. It is worthy to mention that based on the experience gained in Italy, Ilda has developed a new business model by practicing orthodontics as a consultant in cooperation with other dental studios. This was a new approach in Albania which has shown good results over time.
