#### Creating and Implementing an Open Source Strategy

The way the people behind an OSPO achieve this is by creating and maintaining a framework covering the following aspects: strategy, governance, compliance, and community engagement.
The OSPO's strategy focuses on aligning the organization's open source usage (also called consumption) and contributions across its projects, products, services, or internal infrastructure to its overall organization objectives.

For open source to be successful and sustainable within an organization, it is crucial to collaborate not only with the open source community but also with external regulators. This collaboration ensures a clear understanding of open source principles when creating policies that affect the ecosystem. The primary objective is to work together and make informed decisions by fully grasping the implications of open source and its community. Thus, it is recommended that the OSPO considers ways to develop a plan for approaching and communicating with regulators, clearly defining the roles they will play in the policymaking process.
