i seem to prefer it

6 Comments

[Car­toon part of the Mic­ro­soft Blue Mons­ter Series. Backs­tory from Steve and Kris etc.]
One of the ideas I’ve been pla­ying around with the Mic­ro­soft Part­ner Group is– the idea of “cros­sing the chasm”.
i.e. Cros­sing the chasm bet­ween tin­ke­ring away with a neat new idea in your garage, vs taking the idea and tur­ning it into a via­ble long-term busi­ness.
i.e. Cros­sing the chasm bet­ween “Idea” and “Exe­cu­tion”. That is where the bodies pile up etc.
And maybe, just maybe, Mic­ro­soft is a bet­ter option for making this cros­sing than Linux. Maybe not in all ins­tan­ces, but maybe for the guy who they’re trying to sell a pac­kage to, oh yes they are.
This car­toon was kinda me thin­king along those lines…

   Mic­ro­soft does a great job now sup­por­ting it’s Part­ners, even Solo Busi­ness­men like myself.
   I can’t wait to see how you can expand that level of sup­port even further.
   Kind of asha­med I haven’t run across this blog before, subsc­ri­bed and loo­king for­ward to future posts. Cheers!

   NEWSFLASH — This is what part­ners have been doing for many years (in our case, 10 years). We’re still doing it and still attrac­ting blue chip clients with core line of busi­ness deve­lop­ment. Maybe less sexy than stuff 2.0 but cru­cial for cus­to­mers’ businesses.
