New Business Simulation
Published Date
More on what has been keeping us so very busy…
Last week, we ran a brand-new business game at MSP Revolution 2008, developed specifically for the MSP industry.
Because we were working with entrepreneurs, we decided to add some complexity.
From a technical standpoint, we actually ended up with a double simulation—either one of which was a challenge.
We played it on a standard Income|Outcome game board of the Balance Sheet and Income Statement, but we overlaid it with time-allocation decisions:
- The Owner can only do so much work in a month without hiring additional people.
- Each hire comes with time-allocation advantages and disadvantages.
From a practical standpoint, it was a business game that wowed the audience!
You can see one participant's comments on Karl Palchuk’s blog.
Congratulations to Professor Joe Kuvshinikov of Kent State University.
While he and Robin both ran great sessions, Robin was the only facilitator who had prior familiarity with the new program.
Joe did a fabulous job with only the evening before to prepare for it. (I was there too; my pedometer recorded 9,200 steps, which is nowhere near close to Leon’s score, so it goes.)
Our thanks and congratulations to Amy Luby at MSP Revolution, who put on the 4-day event.
She got an excellent response overall (and says she will be running this simulation a few more times in 2009).
