The Tech Capability Quandary: Accelerate delivery or build your team?

We’re creating the next generation of tech leaders, who are trained in the next-gen tech skills which drive transformation. But this model is about so much more than skills and solutions; it challenges the outdated playbooks of traditional consultancies, which don’t help businesses realise true value from their products. By lowering the systemic barriers to enter the tech industry with our salaried training, we’re able to build a diverse workforce who both challenge biases but also integrate with our clients’ teams in a way that removes the frictions of other consultancies - and their agendas. Tim Smeaton, Kubrick CEO

The accelerating pace of development in AI is stretching tech leaders – and their teams – like never before. Big Tech is changing their ways of working to streamline and invest in AI, which is then permeating into other industries at the receiving end of their technology. While leaders are still feeling the pinch, the need to prove value from tech is pressing. GenAI and competitive technologies have leaped to the top of the CEO agenda, as businesses look to transform their models and ways of working, either offensively or defensively, with tech.

But risk profiles remain high. The demand for expertise to confidently implement AI products while minimising risk is soaring. But the UK and US’ growing reliance on consultancies raises questions about organisations’ independence and long-term adoption strategies for next-generation technology. Leaders need to explore and understand the variety of ways they can access greater capability to navigate the changing tech landscape.
