Who is the workshop for?

For CPOs, CTOs and founder-CEOs with product/tech ownership in the tech mid-market who decide on AI investments – typically in companies that build their own software.

Do I need a technical background?

No. The workshop translates the state of the art into decision questions. We bring in technical depth exactly where it matters for the decision.

What is the concrete outcome?

A decision framework for build, buy or wait, an honest read on your AI readiness, and an AI position you can defend in the boardroom.

How does the workshop relate to the AI Monitor?

The readiness assessment follows the research model of the AI Monitor, which Teklens publishes with ETH Zurich and the University of St. Gallen. You get evidence instead of opinion.

Is this a sales pitch for Teklens?

No. We show Teklens where it contributes to the decision – and say clearly where it doesn't fit. No sales rep in the room.

Build, buy or wait – with criteria instead of gut feel

Every AI investment comes down to one of three decisions. The workshop gives you the frame for each – with the signals that point to it.

Build your own AI capabilities – where your codebase and your data are the difference.

Typical signals

Your software is core to your differentiation
Data ownership and data residency are business-critical
You have engineering capacity that can carry it

Where does our organisation stand on AI readiness – and how do we measure it?

Which AI investment pays for itself within 12 months?

Build, buy or wait – and with what reasoning?

Which risks do we accept deliberately: data residency, vendor lock-in, shadow AI?

What do we measure after 90 days – and who owns it?

What you take home

A decision framework for build, buy or wait – with criteria and signals

Anchored in research and product

The workshop builds on the AI Monitor – the research project Teklens publishes with ETH Zurich and the University of St. Gallen. You decide based on six validated readiness dimensions, not slides. And where a tool is the right answer, we show honestly what Teklens can do – and what it can't.
