InnerSource Beyond Code
summary
Built a COVID map using Watson NLP COVID map with an IBM weather app but the project stalls because there is no collaboration infrastructure, so reuse and global scaling never happen. Later efforts feed into WatsonX (2023) and experiments with Instruct Lab contributions to lower friction for model and documentation sharing. Key catalysts are concrete: provide infrastructure and templates, make projects business‑essential, design for reuse, and apply open governance so assets beyond code become repeatable and reusable.
