The Open Source Program Office is responsible for managing various mission critical tasks including open source adoption; risk mitigation; community contributions and engagements, and talent retention. Our company recently pivoted by changing its strategic focus. To support that effort the program office was also tasked with “fostering grassroots innovation” by leveraging open source principles. Although our company staffs a formal research team, we wanted to obtain an additional boost by embracing the “scratch an itch” principle to empower employees at ALL levels. The value creation and cultural impact has exceeded expectations – creating new product features, cross functional tooling, customer demos, improved processes, open source projects, and compelling customer demos (to name a few). The program has fostered the creation of more than 150 employee driven initiatives since we first introduced the project in 2019. We present the playbook used and software developed that support this initiative (both available under Apache-2.0), and share a half dozen success stories. We also hope to encourage others to adopt and contribute to the project.
