Accelerate Innovation by Initiating InnerSourcing
summary
Gartner reports a 3,500‑person survey where only 32% of developers are satisfied with inner source and newer hires (under two years) show ~41% satisfaction versus 22% for >10 years, so start small and concrete: define create a vision, recruit find a champion, and inventory assets using tools like Source grab and atlassian fish eye. Stand up a shared Git platform, run hackathons to seed contributions, and formalize an inner source program office with time allocation, governance and incentive programs (badges, leaderboards) to sustain growth.
