Transforming MLOps Culture with InnerSource Principles - Mishari Muqbil, Zymple/Bitergia

MLOps (Machine Learning Operations) seeks to streamline the deployment and management of machine learning models. However, a successful MLOps transformation requires more than just technical tools – it necessitates a shift in organizational culture. InnerSource, the practice of applying open-source principles within a company, offers a powerful framework for this cultural change.

In this talk, Mishari Muqbil explores how InnerSource principles like collaboration, transparency, and meritocracy can revolutionize MLOps. He'll explain how breaking down silos, fostering knowledge sharing, and empowering individuals helps organizations reap the benefits of:
- Reducing friction: How InnerSource can ease bottlenecks between data scientists, engineers, and operations teams.
- Accelerating innovation: Leveraging the collective wisdom of the entire organization to drive faster improvements in ML models and pipelines.
- Reducing failure: Catching potential problems early through wider collaboration and review.
- Decreasing time to value: Getting improved ML solutions into production faster thanks to streamlined collaboration.
- Building trust: How transparency fosters a culture of trust and accountability across teams involved in MLOps.

This talk is ideal for MLOps practitioners, data scientists, IT leaders, and anyone interested in driving cultural change to improve machine learning outcomes within their organization.
