Dawn Sizer Wrote for Managed Services Journal on Scaling an MSP Without Losing the Standard
Her piece on sustainable MSP growth argues the difference between a business that scales cleanly and one that doesn't comes down to documentation, not talent.
Treat the business like a franchise
Her central comparison: a business that scales well runs like a franchise. Wherever it operates and whoever it hires, the core functions and processes stay the same.
The operating system underneath
A documented business operating system, covering vision, performance metrics, accountability, and clear communication, is what keeps a growing company from depending on any one person's memory of how things are supposed to work.
Continuity and succession, not just process
She also covers business continuity and succession planning as part of the same discipline, including specific mechanisms like employee ownership structures to keep a leadership transition from becoming a crisis.
