Build vs. Buy guidance – when to purchase solutions vs. develop in-house
The leap from ‘cool’ to corporate is tough. Many companies get stuck in pilots and proofs of concept. AI often starts as an exciting experiment, but translating that into something the wider business adopts is a different game altogether.
The tools are often there, even the strategy. But you have to go bottom-up–work directly with teams, help them see what’s possible, and crucially, build something they feel ownership over. Independence in those early phases is really important.”
