Build, Buy, or Partner? Tackling the Classic Question and What Real Partnership Looks Like

This peer-led roundtable will bring together operations, technology and transformation leaders to examine where outsourcing, vendor partnerships and internal builds are delivering value — and where they are falling short.

The discussion will explore service quality, accountability, integration, SLAs, vendor concentration, cost pressure and the capabilities firms should continue to retain in-house. Participants will also consider when it makes sense to build, buy or partner, how firms can strengthen underperforming relationships, and what a genuinely strategic partnership should look like in practice.

Hosted by: BlackRock

When: Tuesday, 22 September | 16:00 – 16:30 | Day 1

Format: Closed-door roundtable | Limited seating

Why attend?

This is a highly curated, discussion-led session designed for senior operations, technology, transformation and vendor-management leaders responsible for shaping operating-model and sourcing decisions.

The small-group format will enable candid peer-to-peer discussion around outsourcing strategy, vendor performance, internal capability, governance and the trade-offs involved in deciding what to build, buy or partner for. The session is designed to provide practical perspectives on how firms can create stronger, more accountable and more effective strategic relationships.

Your pass also provides access to the wider TSAM New York 2026.

Featuring 37 sessions across 7 content streams, 600 attendees and 120 speakers.
