This document discusses considerations for whether to build or partner for new product capabilities. It provides a framework to assess the risks of building vs buying, including factors like resource availability, ability to disrupt competition, ongoing effort needs, and alignment with business strategy. The framework rates these factors as low, medium, or high risk and assigns importance weights to calculate a total score. A score between 0-20 suggests building, 21-40 suggests a combination approach, and 41-60 suggests buying or partnering. The document emphasizes making good informed decisions based on available information and being willing to revisit decisions as new information emerges.
