+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.
