So you have decided that Inner Source is the way to go for your enterprise. Good for you! The rest is a piece of cake. You only need to explain to your employees what this is all about. Oh yeah, and talk to the people from corporate tax, should be no problem, you know a guy 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. Easy! Right?!? Let me talk about our journey at Mercedes-Benz. We haven’t solved everything yet, but we’re on a good path, and maybe our experience can help you a bit, too. We will look at 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.
