Introduction In the world of software development, the open source model has proven to result in better, more innovative software. But these principles can extend beyond software development to the organization of a company itself. This approach, sometimes known as InnerSource, involves applying open source principles within an organization to improve governance and operations. InnerSource is particularly well-suited for small companies composed of developers. Purpose In this session, we will explore how businesses can become more efficient and produce higher quality work by adopting open source principles, using the real-life example of Lunatech, a service company I work for. We will draw parallels between the open source model and the management practices at Lunatech. This will demonstrate that open source is not merely an idealistic concept, but a practical approach to governing a company. Benefits of open source We will discuss how other companies or business units can benefit from adopting this model. Key benefits include enhanced collaboration, increased innovation, and more effective use of internal resources. Limitations and Solutions We will also address the limitations of the open source model within a business and provide strategies to work around these challenges, ensuring that the approach can be successfully implemented in various organizational contexts. By the end of this session, the audience will have a solid understanding of how InnerSource can transform the management and operational efficiency of their business, backed by the successful example of Lunatech.
