"So you have decided that Inner Source is the way to go. Good for you! This has the power to substantially enhance your software development. The rest is a piece of cake. You only need to explain to your employees what this is all about: Inner Source is like Open Source, it just stays within the company. Easy enough. Oh yeah, and talk to the people from corporate tax, should be no problem, you know someone there. Then get the legal department to answer some simple questions, and off you go!
Alright, tooling is an issue, too. And governance... Ok ok, so you haven't thought about all the minor details, but you just get everybody’s attention and spread the word. Done in no time.
Right?!?
Well, you may find it’s just not working that smoothly. Why is that? In this session, we will explore how to unlock the huge potential of Inner Source, illustrated with our journey at Mercedes-Benz. We will discuss what factors can make an Inner Source project successful, what some of the stumbling blocks can be, and how to overcome (at least some of) them. In particular, we will also take a look at how AI-tools can spike up the acceptance, the usage, and the implementation of Inner Source.

Background: A successful application of Inner Source methods can change the way software is developed within enterprises. Almost all of the benefits of Open Source apply and can help companies to become better, faster, and more cost-efficient in their software development. Also, Inner Source can be a good playing field for companies who don't quite dare yet to become active in Open Source. In addition, a recent implementation of AI support on our Inner Source discovery platform looks quite promising for the adoption of Inner Source."
