Send us a textSummaryIn this thought-provoking discussion, Mike Sabat from Twilio shares his perspective on the potential convergence of Customer Success Management (CSM) and Account Executive (AE) roles in enterprise technology. The conversation delves into how consumption-based pricing models and increasing product complexity are driving this transformation, with particular emphasis on revenue responsibility and customer relationship management in the modern tech landscape.Detailed AnalysisThe episode explores the shifting dynamics of customer-facing roles in enterprise technology, highlighting several key trends and implications:Consumption-Based EvolutionThe discussion begins with an examination of how enterprise software is moving from seat-based to consumption-based pricing models, similar to those employed by major players like AWS, Google Cloud, and OpenAI. This fundamental shift is reshaping how companies structure their customer-facing teams and responsibilities.Role Convergence DriversSabat presents compelling arguments for the merger of CSM and AE roles, particularly in growth-oriented companies. The traditional model of AEs making promises and CSMs cleaning up afterward is becoming obsolete, replaced by a more integrated approach where responsibility for both sales and delivery rests with the same individual.Revenue ResponsibilityA crucial point emerged regarding revenue responsibility in customer success roles. The panel agrees that CSM teams must evolve beyond being cost centers to become revenue generators, either through direct sales responsibility or through packaged services offerings.Specialized ModelsThe discussion acknowledges that while convergence is likely in some areas, specialization will continue to exist. The "hunter" role focused on new logo acquisition will remain distinct, while the "farmer" role may see the most convergence between AE and CSM functions.Future ImplicationsThe conversation concludes with insights into how this evolution might affect organizational structure, skill requirements, and customer relationship management in the coming years, particularly in enterprises with complex, consumption-based products.Now you can interact with us directly by leaving a voice message at https://www.speakpipe.com/CustomerSuccessPlaybookPlease Like, Comment, Share and Subscribe.

Mallory sits down with Tina Miller, Executive Director of Creative and Communications at Enterprise Technology at Arizona State University (ASU). Recorded live at AMA in Las Vegas, the conversation delves into the transformative role of AI in higher education, exploring how leaders can adopt and integrate AI to drive institutional success. Tina shares insights into ASU's innovative approach, including their AI Innovation Challenge, and offers actionable advice for leaders ready to embrace this game-changing technology.Key TakeawaysLeaders must prioritize AI literacy: Understanding and leveraging AI starts with a commitment to learning and experimenting with its potential.AI adoption needs leadership buy-in: Institutions without clear guidelines or leadership support risk missing AI's transformative opportunities.AI can address resource constraints: Properly implemented, AI has the potential to reduce costs, increase enrollment, and enhance efficiency.ASU's AI framework is a model: The university focuses its AI initiatives on three key areas: teaching and learning success, research for societal impact, and the future of work.Experimentation is key: The early days of AI adoption are ideal for leaders and institutions to explore its possibilities and set the foundation for future advancements.Why Leaders Must Take the First Step in AI Adoption Tina highlights the importance of leadership in AI adoption, explaining that many leaders wait for institutional directives before integrating AI into their teams. However, she emphasizes the urgency for leaders to take the initiative. Literacy is the first step—understanding what AI is and how it can be used. Tina shares her personal journey of becoming AI-literate through podcasts, newsletters, and networking, showcasing how small, consistent efforts can yield significant knowledge gains.AI literacy transitions to fluency when leaders not only understand the tools but can actively implement them to streamline processes, improve collaboration, and educate students. Tina underscores that AI adoption is not optional; institutions and leaders who fail to embrace it risk falling behind in the rapidly evolving higher education landscape.Overcoming Barriers to AI Integration in Higher Ed A common barrier to AI adoption is time—or the perceived lack of it. Leaders often feel stretched thin, managing numerous priorities. Tina's advice? Prioritize AI because the long-term benefits outweigh the short-term time investment. She suggests accessible ways to learn about AI, such as tuning into relevant podcasts (e.g., Marketing AI and Enrollify) and engaging with professional networks. Tina also points out that institutions like ASU have successfully embedded AI by aligning it with clear priorities, like student success and research impact.Mallory and Tina also discuss the real-world impact of AI in higher education. From increasing enrollment rates to slashing application costs, the early adopters are already reaping measurable benefits. These success stories provide a blueprint for institutions hesitant to embrace AI.ASU's AI Innovation Challenge: A Case Study ASU's proactive approach to AI is a standout example. Guided by three focus areas—teaching and learning success, research for societal impact, and the future of work—the university integrates AI purposefully rather than haphazardly. Tina shares details about the AI Innovation Challenge, which empowers faculty, staff, and researchers to develop projects leveraging AI. With over 250 projects currently in progress, ASU demonstrates the power of prioritizing and resourcing AI initiatives.Tina emphasizes that ASU's success stems from a top-down commitment to innovation, with President Michael Crow leading the charge. This leadership provides a roadmap for other institutions to follow: identify strategic goals, align AI initiatives with these objectives, and create structures to support experimentation and adoption. - - - -Connect With Our Co-Hosts:Mallory Willsea https://www.linkedin.com/in/mallorywillsea/https://twitter.com/mallorywillseaSeth Odell https://www.linkedin.com/in/sethodell/https://twitter.com/sethodellAbout The Enrollify Podcast Network:The Higher Ed Pulse is a part of the Enrollify Podcast Network.

Machine-learning based Generative AI is inherently inefficient. Training models by sifting findings again and again until a suitable output is generated is a time-consuming – end energy-consuming – process. So, could there be a better way to look at training our AI systems? Well, one possible option is physics-based AI, where training is viewed as an energy grid, and the best possible route though that grid mapped to find outputs. It's a novel way of thinking, but it could change our whole approach to AI.Joining us again today to find out more is Ray Beausoleil, a physicist, senior fellow and senior vice president at HPE. He leads the large scale integrated photonics lab at Hewlett Packard Labs. This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

There are math problems that are hard. So hard that even current computers cannot solve them. To get around these problems, we need to re-think the very foundation of how we architect our IT, by using a technological field called 'novel accelerators'.It sounds complicated, but today's guest is particularly skilled at explaining incredibly complicated concepts. He says: "Right now, Generative AI and accelerators are at the forefront of being able to help with these major advances, and the world could change in really significant ways. Medicine, materials, energy, information technology... to harness these systems to help us - not to replace us."

At the 2024 ISC high-performance conference in Hamburg, Germany, the world's second exascale machine was officially recognised: The Aurora supercomputer at Argonne National Laboratory officially broke the exascale barrier at 1.012 exaflops. So why does exascale matter, and why is it so difficult to achieve? Joining us to discuss is Susan Coghlan, Project Director of the Aurora exascale computer at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility at Argonne National Laboratory in Lemont, Illinois.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week we look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations and what we can learn from it.
