Our dream is to help people more easily navigate this increasingly challenging 21st century global economy by developing the world's first economic graph, i.e. we want to digitally map the global economy and in doing so, create economic opportunity for every one of the 3B people in the global workforce.
We want to create a digital profile for every member of the global workforce
We would like there to be a digital profile for every company in the world, and who you know at those companies up to three degrees to help you get your foot in the door.
We would like to have a digital representation of every job offered by these companies, full-time and part-time for profit and volunteer.
We would also like there to be a digital representation of every skill required to obtain these jobs.
And a presence for every higher educational organization and learning and development tool that would enable the members to obtain those skills.
And lastly, we want to be in a position where we can overlay the professionally relevant knowledge for every one of those individual members, companies and universities to the extent they want to share it. Then we want to step back and allow capital, all forms of capital, intellectual capital, working capital and human capital to flow, to where it can best be leveraged and in doing so, help lift and transform the global economy.
The only thing standing in the way of our vision being realized is scale, and that will come with time. Over next ten years, the economic graph will be a reality and it will forever change the way talent connects with opportunity.
We operationalize these concepts and create a business around these ideas with our vision. It’s our true north. Our dream.
And it’s to create economic opportunity for every member of the global workforce. That’s over 3 billion people in the world.

UNLOCK A POWERFUL CORPORATE ASSET
So, let’s start with some news you may not have realized. There is a powerful asset that we all have at our disposal - our employees and their network of connections. In other words, the collective network of your employees. It’s likely that it’s an underutilized asset in your organization – simply because it’s a relatively new phenomenon. Only in the last 10 years have we begun to see mass consumer adoption of mobile devices and social sharing. And only in the last 10 years have we begun to see individuals leverage the power of social media for professional purposes. Now imagine harnessing the power of your employees to benefit your entire organization.
An ideal starting point for connecting with your professional world is building a great profile on LinkedIn
Select a photo that represents you professionally. This helps humanize your profile and makes you more approachable. You don’t have to enlist the help of a professional photographer – ensure you’re dressed professionally and alone in the shot and you can even take a photo with the help of a colleague.

Profile picture should be only of oneself and worthy of a business card.
Profiles with images get higher InMail response rate than those without.
What you do
The value you provide
Your goals
Your profile is the front page of your story. The headline is a great way to show your value and passion in one quick line. Inspire the viewer to read more.
Adding a summary of 40 words or more makes your profile more likely to turn up in a future employer’s search. A good tip is to ensure your summary includes keywords featured in desirable job descriptions for your field. Describe your experience and tell the world why you work in your chosen career. Avoid buzzwords (examples: strategic, team player, creative) and focus on your career accomplishments.
Illustrate your unique professional story and achievements by adding visuals such pictures, compelling videos, links to news stories and innovative presentations to your experience section.

Adding causes and volunteer experience is a great way to round out your professional identity. Almost half of all hiring managers say they view volunteer experience as equivalent to formal work experience.
There are many ways for your to share what you know on LinkedIn, and to also learn from others who are sharing their expertise. I am going to dive deeper into a couple of these.
SlideShare – upload you presentations, or infographics. New functionality now where you can with one click from SlideShare, add a presentation to your LinkedIn profile
Groups – We have over 2.1M groups on LinkedIn – connect with other professionals with similar interests to you. Collaborate, share, discuss
Pulse – Consume content on the topics that interest you.
Influencers – Follow industry influencers
We also have member publishing, which hopefully you’ve heard of. We’re going to dive deeper into that in a little bit.
Look for groups relating to your industry, function, and career interest –– then join a few to stay up to date on trending topics and news. Build a solid professional reputation by sharing your ideas and commenting on others’ posts and providing advice where appropriate.
