Build, Buy, Borrow, or Bot: Tackling the skills crisis with agile talent sourcing
Wednesday, 25th June 2025
11:00am - 12:00pm BST

HR, Talent, and L&D leaders face an urgent need to rethink how they build and mobilise capabilities across their organisations quickly, efficiently, and sustainably. Despite overwhelming demand to fill skills gaps and be agile in talent sourcing, many companies still rely on a traditional, outdated strategy: hiring externally.

This traditional approach can be both expensive and slow. Instead, leading organisations are taking a holistic approach known as 'Build, Buy, Borrow, or Bot':

  • Build: Upskill and reskill existing employees to foster internal talent growth.

  • Buy: Recruit specialised external talent when immediate needs arise.

  • Borrow: Leverage contingent workers, gig talent, or partnerships to add flexibility.

  • Bot: Automate tasks and processes using AI or robotics.

In this dynamic session, Dominic and Sarah introduce a powerful, skills-based framework that leverages AI-driven talent intelligence and agile workforce planning to close skill gaps effectively. Packed with practical insights, actionable strategies, and compelling stories from leading organisations, this session will empower you to transform workforce uncertainty into a strategic advantage.
