2. © faberNovel 2013 ••• 2 A SERIOUS STUDY. This is not another “how-to” study about managing your digital ID, recruiting or growing your professional network on LinkedIn. This is a study explaining why it is no longer just a networking tool, but how it’s becoming a multi-sided business platform that will help you grow your business in the New Economy of Talents. IF YOU ARE A CEO/CFO Why should you get your teams to use LinkedIn? IF YOU WORK IN HR How will the graph let you recruit better, faster, cheaper? IF YOU WORK IN BIZ DEV How the professional graph can generate accurate leads. IF YOU ARE A B2B SOFTWARE PUBLISHER Why you might consider partnering with LinkedIn in the near future. IF YOU WORK IN IT How you can subscribe to Business a as Service rather than buying multiple desktop tools. IF YOU WORK IN PR How the professional graph will help you reach the accurate B2B audience. IF YOU ARE AN ENTREPRENEUR How LinkedIn might help you run your startup leaner.

4. © faberNovel 2013 ••• 4 A SHORT WORD FROM STÉPHANE DISTINGUIN. It’s the graph economy, stupid ;) Stéphane Distinguin Founder and CEO at faberNovel At faberNovel, we are passionate about finding out what makes the success and longevity of a tech giant. But what really drives our work everyday is the will to detect and assess how the digital revolution redefines how we communicate, purchase, get informed or even how we work. In that matter, while opening up LinkedIn’s engines and business model, we have found ourselves very much impressed with how LinkedIn has already eased and transfigured professional interactions – be it in regards to finding the right talent for one’s company, generating leads faster and smarter or having people learn from one another’s expertise. We can all agree LinkedIn has developed and delivered a neat, fantastically powerful network of serious people over the past 10 years - giving us all the rare opportunity to be only 2 or 3 degrees away from the big guys in the Valley. Where else than on LinkedIn could you better brag about your uniqueness as a professional? As of today, I know no better marketplace of talents and decision makers. But that’s not it. The same way the unrecognized genius Will Hunting was humbly resolving complex math equations in a corridor at MIT, we believe that somewhere in Mountain View, LinkedIn is gathering huge amounts of valuable business data and is silently drawing what might be the first global economic graph. With such gold in its hands, what role will LinkedIn play for our companies and teams in the new information era? We believe it won’t be one of the networks we choose to use or not. By capturing and dispatching talents and business interactions – if not transactions, LinkedIn is the key, sprawling business tool for the New Economy. And this is very serious stuff.

ENHANCING LINKEDIN’S ABILITY TO DELIVER THE BEST VALUE TO ITS MEMBERS. © faberNovel 2013 ••• 38 Extended Reach By opening up its functionalities, LinkedIn aims to be present outside of its own platform, thus extending its reach far beyond its own walls. Innovation Encouraged 75,000 developers are using LinkedIn APIs. They are a great way for LinkedIn to leverage the creativity of others and spot new ideas/concepts that might serve LinkedIn’s goals. Enriched Professional Graph By involving itself in B2B interactions thanks to its APIs, LinkedIn knows more and more about its members. This data fuels its Professional Graph, which can be leveraged for marketing purposes and value-added services. Controlled Experience Applications that fail to meet the Terms Of Service are cut off from their access to the APIs. LinkedIn keeps very tight control on what can and cannot be done, to ensure LinkedIn’s members’ interests are served first.

LinkedIn will have to ensure that members privacy is respected and avoid a “Big Brother” effect which might drive users away from the platform MEMBERS DILEMMA LinkedIn wants more people to become members…but not all of them! LinkedIn focuses on decision makers and knowledge workers. At some point, LinkedIn could encounter a “member quality” issue and attract undesired members. As an example, LinkedIn recently saw a rise in “escort services experts.” SECURITY CHALLENGE LinkedIn has had a major security issue - it lost track of 6.5 million member passwords in June 2012. As LinkedIn controls more and more professional data, security will increasingly become a challenge.
