Should You Build a Data Team or Borrow One?
Episode 168
Thursday, 12 March, 2026
Many companies assume the best way to build a data capability is to hire an internal team. But is that always the right move?In this episode of The Dashboard Effect, Brick and Landon break down one of the most common questions they hear from prospective clients: Why outsource your data work instead of hiring in-house?They talk through the real tradeoffs companies face when building a data team, from the challenge of finding a single person who can do everything (the “Batman” hire), to the hidden costs of recruiting, training, and managing multiple specialists. They also discuss why outsourced teams can sometimes deliver more value than a single internal hire, thanks to a broader bench of expertise and the ability to scale resources up or down as business needs change.Whether you're considering building your own data team or looking for ways to get more out of your data infrastructure, this conversation offers a practical look at the pros and cons of each approach.
