The Berlin CTO Roundtable is back, and this time we’re tackling a critical question: In the age of rapid AI evolution and shifting market dynamics, is it better to build talent from within or buy it from the outside?
Between the rapid evolution of AI-driven roles and the rising costs of recruitment, the "buy vs. build" talent strategy has never been more consequential. We’ll explore the ROI of internal academies, the cultural impact of shifting skill requirements, and how automation is fundamentally redefining "Senior" and "Junior" roles in 2026.
We’ll be diving deep into:
- The ROI of Internal Academies: When does upskilling actually pay off compared to headhunter fees?
- Cultural Impact: How do you maintain morale while shifting skill requirements?
- The AI Factor: How is automation changing the very definitions of "Senior" and "Junior" roles?
Agenda:
- 18:30 – Arrival & Drinks
- 19:30 – Panel Discussion
