Most ethics and compliance teams revisit the “build vs. buy” question every few years—often landing in the same place, with more cost and complexity each time. But with AI now in the mix, the decision isn’t binary anymore.

Tune in to hear former compliance leaders from Meta and Microsoft for a candid conversation on how to decide when to build training in-house, when to partner, and where AI creates a practical “third way.” We covered real-world examples of what drives those decisions—from culture and storytelling to regulatory complexity, resources, and scale—plus the hidden costs most teams underestimate.

You’ll leave with a clearer framework for evaluating your approach, and concrete ways to modernize your training program without adding headcount or starting from scratch.
