A unique and unrivalled team
Spot On Business Mastery brings two hugely successful businesses and people together. It is unique and unrivalled. There is no equivalent of Andy McDougall and Mark Skimming in the industry and together they make a powerful combination.
Two sides of the value coin; the missing magic formula: theory + practice = success.

Andy McDougall
With over 40 years of experience interpreting and using numbers to transform business performance, Andy McDougall ventured into the dental sector over a decade ago, recognising a gap in business know-how among practice owners. He founded Spot On Business Planning (SOBP) with a mission to transform underperforming practices and take well-performing practices to new levels.
He has successfully built and nurtured thriving businesses, navigating every permutation of business structure imaginable, from missed opportunities to private practices, specialists, sole traders and partnerships.
Andy’s proven methodology, refined over a long period of time, is a testament to his expertise and commitment to excellence. His track record speaks for itself, with a high retention rate among clients who have experienced first-hand the transformative power of his strategies.
Dental industry professionals know and value Andy and his team at Spot On Business Planning as the go-to business for profitable growth and strategic planning.
When it comes to understanding numbers and using them to drive success, nobody does it quite like Andy.

Mark Skimming
Mark is a former clinical dentist who has developed his own self-managed group of 14 practices. At the core of Mark’s success is the meticulously refined methodology that Spot On Business Mastery will teach, initially developed in his first practice and subsequently rolled out across 13 additional practices within his group.
Mark has proven practically the engine works for building teams, managing associates, and motivating 14 organisations. The ongoing growth and management of his group of practices is steeped in and resulting from this self-sustaining profitable model.
Partnering with Spot On Business Planning for over eight years, and harnessing SOBP’s strategic planning expertise to divest from a clinical focus to multi-practice ownership, Mark has leveraged its expertise to optimise key business drivers: people, processes, and numbers. He knows and will articulate from a practical and lived perspective, the challenges faced, and the physical and mental stresses felt; then he will share the solutions for getting past them.
