Externally
Don't mistake FOSS as just a technology.  It is a R&D philosophy!

Internally
Draft a proper in-house FOSS strategy with clear goals
Don't expect your product mangers or engineers to know everything about FOSS without proper training
Hire people with strong community background into your R&D and management to facilitate the know-how transfer
