linkedin

linkedin
August 17, 2018

USF recently started offering an MBA program with a concentration on customer success and insights, further confirming the need for schools to put an emphasis on growth through customer relationships. When I went through an MBA program recently, I told the Director of the Program and the Head of Marketing that while the education I received was invaluable, the piece that was missing for me was a lens on Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and the metrics around success in this business model. We live in Silicon Valley, after all, and SaaS is a massive economic driver here.
