# InnerSource Strategy

## Vision
- Create a sense of community, so that folks feel that they are a part of a larger team beyond their immediate team
- We have a method to discover functional overlap between teams, allowing us to identify value propositions between team that may be competing
- Leadership to enable cost reduction by standardizing
- Shared projects enable simplification, quick ramp up time, and improved transitions for folks moving between or being a part of multiple teams
