So many know the drill - a centre of excellence is stood up, some code and recommendations come out of it, nobody really uses it, back to the usual in a year or so. It happens very often in large enterprises trying to reinvent the engineering function

With this session though I am not here to complain or talk about failed attempts - I want to talk about an actual success story which absorbed over a year of my life (and it's still ongoing!), which led to a well-oiled Inner Source product in a large enterprise as well as a number of examples of collaborative development in a non-IT organisation.

It's been a journey, long and with mistakes, however successful in the end! Let's see how.
