<p>Adopting InnerSource culture is transforming how productive and effective businesses can be. Embracing InnerSource has reduced internal duplication of efforts, is building a strong internal incubator for features and products, and helping model what joint customer communities could look like. Join us to discuss various lessons learned and repeatable patterns we have used for a successful InnerSource adoption. We will share successful project stories, project security considerations, and other tips.</p>
<p>InnerSource is an incredible paradigm to follow for any organization, allowing even Fortune 500 Companies feel like a startup. For the IBM Z platform with over 60 years of custom tooling and a legendary reputation for quality to adopt a culture of InnerSource is not a simple switch. How do you encourage developers that side project culture could be valuable to the business? How do you implore your organizations leaders by taking a project from an idea to their next business decision? Join us as we discuss how we showed InnerSource’s potential value to help bolster IBM’s business.</p>
