Deciding whether to build, buy or take a hybrid approach to platform strategy is rarely straightforward. Building can give institutions more control and a closer fit with internal systems, particularly where teams have the resources and ownership model to support it over the long term.

Buying can offer a faster route to established capability and make it easier to adapt as requirements change. But it still raises important questions around integration, governance and how much control teams are prepared to manage differently.

In practice, many institutions sit somewhere between the two. They keep control where it matters while using external platform capability to support scale and ongoing change.

Join us as we explore how these decisions play out in practice. Drawing on independent research and practitioner insight, the webinar will look at where different approaches can work well and how institutions combine internal and external capability. It will also consider what to assess before committing to a platform strategy and operating model.
