One of the most consequential decisions that founders face is how to actually implement AI in their businesses.

Should you build custom solutions, buy off-the-shelf products or do a bit of both?

In this webinar, Julian Musson focuses on ways to implement AI inside a business. Learn the pros and cons of each approach and the practical realities that determine whether using AI will be a success or a failure.

Topics covered in this session

  • What it actually takes to build your own AI solutions, including the often-hidden costs and timeline realities that catch founders off guard

  • Understand when buying makes sense (and when it doesn't), plus how to evaluate the hybrid approach that many companies are quietly pursuing

  • How to promote your brand on a small budget

  • A practical decision framework that considers your specific situation – your stage of revenue, technical capabilities, time pressures and tolerance of risk

  • Critical warning signs that will help you avoid the expensive mistakes that derail AI initiatives

  • How the most successful implementation strategies often evolve over time
