Build vs. Buy decisions in treasury: Why invention happens on both sides

Description

The classic build vs. buy dilemma is more than a cost or speed decision — it's a core strategic choice, especially in treasury and finance.

Tanya Kohen and treasury consultant Tom Tarrant explore how invention emerges not only from building custom tools, but also from creatively combining, adapting, and owning bought solutions. They unpack Tom's framework "buy is for ops, build is for strategy", and discuss how the right balance, fueled by collaborative teams and cross-functional input, shapes strategy, builds operational resilience, and drives growth.

Learn how organizations can leverage both approaches across areas like TMS implementation, AI forecasting, and fraud detection to turn technology into a true competitive advantage.
