LinkedIn’s Mission:

To connect the world’s professionals to
make them more productive and
successful.
The World Is Flat…
“It has become possible
for more people to
collaborate and compete
in real time, with more
people on more different
kinds of work from more
different corners of the
planet, on a more equal
footing, than any
previous time in the
history of the world.”



      …and faster…and more challenging…
The New World of Work

 Every individual is now a business

 Decision making is distributed and faster

 Companies are becoming more open
Every individual
is now a business.
Job tenure is on the decline
                         Global competition is increasing

                         Greater movement between
                         professions and industries

                         Greater access to information

                         People loyal to their skills, not their
                         employer

                         Work used to be a place you would
                         go – now it’s something you do

                         Today’s students will have 10-14
                         jobs before they turn 38
Every individual is a business

Your name & your reputation = your brand

Your salary = your revenue

Your skills & experience = your advantage

Your online profile = your business listing

Your network = your R&D, sales & marketing
departments
Why should you care?

    Today’s decision maker is thinking as much
     about their “own business” as they are
     about their employer’s.

    How does your product or service help
     people achieve individual success as well as
     success for their business?
Decision making is distributed and
happening faster.
Decision making: down & out

“I can be fast,                 “I can take my
but I may make                 time, but I may
a mistake.”                          miss out.”




    “My network can help me make informed
      decisions quickly and confidently.”
Active networkers report greater decision-
making support

Got Social Media Guidelines?
 From IBM’s Social Computing Guidelines
 (http://www.ibm.com/blogs/zz/en/guidelines.html )

 Be thoughtful about how you present yourself in online social networks. The lines
 between public and private, personal and professional are blurred in online social
 networks. By virtue of identifying yourself as an IBMer within a social network, you are
 now connected to your colleagues, managers and even IBM's clients. You should
 ensure that content associated with you is consistent with your work at IBM. If you
 have joined IBM recently, be sure to update your social profiles to reflect IBM's
 guidelines.

                           1. Who recommends this person?
                           2. How am I connected to them?
Delivering Results

 “This campaign not only drove hundreds of direct
registrations into the BizSpark program, which was
the core goal, but also added to an increased positive
brand and company perception. Because of the
interconnectedness of the platform, I was able to

who I would not have known. I will definitely work
with the LinkedIn team again.”
