InnerSource Commons - InnerSource ROI & Convincing Leaders

InnerSource ROI & Convincing Leaders

How do you prove the value of InnerSource to stakeholders? It’s always a popular topic at InnerSource Commons, particularly as more and more organizations move from successful pilot implementations to wider roll-outs. Come along to this community call and join us for a panel discussion on the topic with Matt Cobby, who has run the InnerSource initiative at National Australia Bank; Daniel Izquierdo, CEO of Bitergia who specializes in helping organizations measure InnerSource success; and Swapnil Kulkarni, responsible for the roll-out of InnerSource at Nuance. Each speaker promises to bring some great examples of how you can convince the leadership of your organization of the value of InnerSource.

After the initial panel discussion, we will be facilitating a discussion on the topic that will be held under the Chatham House Rule. Join us there to share your insights, challenges and best practices.

This community call will be starting at 9am UTC / 10am CET / 2.30pm IST / 8pm AEDT
