summary
InnerSource advocacy focuses on four concrete strategies: Define the value, Position the story, structure specific asks and activities, and Build a team. Backing claims with numbers works — lack of executive sponsorship ranks as the top adoption barrier and Prosci finds active visible sponsorship is the biggest predictor of change success; voluntary turnover costs about $1 trillion annually; predictions place cybercrime at ~$10 trillion by 2025 with average breaches costing $4M. A pharma example consolidates vendors and shows $500k saved while enabling cross‑team collaboration as Gen Z hire priorities rise (44% Gen Z by 2030).
