MSP Games

“Shall we play a game?”  asked a young Matthew Broderick’s computer in the 1983 hit movie War Games.  The computer’s creepy synthetic voice and the underlying current of the Cold War conveyed the seriousness of this seemingly innocent question.  Three decades later, CompTIA – the leading IT trade association – is asking the same question.  And while the stakes aren’t as high as global thermonuclear war, to the small business owners who attend one of CompTIA’s MSP Business Simulation Experiences, livelihoods hang in the balance.

More akin to Monopoly than War Games, the CompTIA MSP Business Simulation Experience is a hands-on workshop set up in a game format where teams make all the decisions about marketing, sales, operations, HR and finance for a managed services provider. Presented by Amy Luby of MSPSN, this program teaches valuable business knowledge, as well as techniques and strategies to improve participants’ profits.

In 2009, this regional workshop will travel to four cities, concluding in Washington DC on December 8th.  Participation is limited but as of this writing, a few seats remain for the final workshop of this year.  Click here to learn more and register for this valuable event!
