BlackRock’s Build vs Buy: Transforming the Target Operating Model Webinar

In the latest episode of BlackRock Aladdin’s Buy vs Build webinar series, we examine how investment operating models are being reshaped in real time by an evolving industry landscape and rapid technological change driven by AI.

As firms move beyond foundational infrastructure decisions, the focus is shifting toward how people, processes, and technology come together to support long-term growth, resilience, and performance.

This session will cover: 

• How investment operating models are evolving in response to market and technology shifts

• Key considerations across people, processes, and technology when scaling investment platforms

• Trade-offs between flexibility, standardization, and long-term efficiency
