I used to think LinkedIn was kind of silly, but these days I think it’s what you make of it. I work in public sector digitalisation in Denmark, and in my experience, LinkedIn is the single greatest tool to connect with managers and decision makers, and in my anecdotal experience LinkedIn is crawling with those. As an example of what I mean by this. I was the main developer for a set of Enterprise Architecture principles for implementing new software at the municipality where I work. I sometimes write articles about what I do, and because I still haven’t gotten around to building that personal web-page of mine, I typically publish my articles on LinkedIn. This particular article was noticed by a lot of people, including a manager at our “trade organisation” (not sure what the correct term for a public sector trade organisation is in English) and as a result I was invited to work on our national standards for enterprise architectural principals for municipalities. I would have never had that kind of connection without LinkedIn.
