Your clients are already using AI tools â some you approved, many you didnât. As their MSP, you either wrap services around this chaos or watch someone else do it. This onâdemand course walks you stepâbyâstep through designing an AI management package you can plug into your existing MSP stack and start selling.
Because AI is a moving target, itâs important that we get our services wrapped around it sooner rather than later. Security, privacy, and shadow IT are looming issues that MSPs are already prepared to handle; you just need to get your services in place to manage them. This course gives you the basics you need to launch â from there the skyâs the limit in how you specialize or grow your offer as AI matures.
If youâve been âresearching AIâ for months without a concrete offer, this course is designed to move you from ideas to a defined AI consultancy plan you can actually sell.
I originally designed and taught this as a live course and ran it twice with MSPs who wanted to build a real AI consultancy offering. Rather than telling you âhereâs the one bundle you should sell,â the course walks you through all the components you could include so you can build the service offering that fits your clients and your business. Itâs very much a âteach a person to fishâ perspective.
Since Iâve already run the live version twice, I donât plan to offer it in person again. Instead, I turned it into a selfâpaced online course that reflects what we covered in class, the questions MSPs asked, and the materials I presented. In an online format it doesnât take long to watch the modules, but the value is in the work you do between them. At the end of each section youâll find a short quiz and a series of âquestions for thoughtâ that you can use to build your own AI management solution as you go. The goal is that you finish with a custom set of AI management services you can take to your existing clients and to market.
What youâll walk away with
By the end of the course you will have:
- A defined AI management/consultancy package you can add to your existing MSP offerings.
- A clientâready perspective on AI acceptable use, ethics, and governance you can turn into policies and projects.
- A working understanding of current AI tools, security and monitoring options, and how they fit into your stack.
- A rollout strategy for introducing AI services to current clients and new prospects.
