MSP Partners' "Business Simulation Experience" a "Must Attend"!


The title of this all-day training should be "How to Not Go Out of Business". I'd be a lot richer today if I'd have spent just one day in college playing this game instead of sitting through another statistics or business calculus class. (Seeing money move around a game board in a simulated "break fix vs. MSP" environment is all the business calculus I ever really needed.)

Go to the event in Washington D.C. on December 9th!

Seriously. Playing this game will teach you on a visceral level what you need to understand about the value of the migration in the IT VAR community from a "break fix" pricing model to a "MSP" pricing model.

The bottom line is that in the "break fix" world you make decent money but you struggle every month. In the MSP world, after a couple tough months ramping up all of a sudden life gets very smooth because you're not scared about meeting payroll for lack of "break fix" work.

Even if you're already sold on the MSP model this exercise is a great reminder that staying in business is "all about the money". If the money on the board is not where it needs to be when it needs to be there then say "goodbye happy".
