Younger, Affluent Decision Makers

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,

but I may make

a mistake.”

“I can take my

time, but I may

miss out.”

“My network can help me make informed

decisions quickly and confidently.”

Active networkers report greater decision-

making support

Traditional decision-making supplemented by

social media


Professionals primarily looking to three

platforms:


Companies are

becoming more open.

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.

“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
