A professional’s profile everywhere

Today, there is no one source of truth for an individual profile — the data is scattered across many endpoints often with outdated or incomplete information. In the future, a professional’s profile will be unified and the right data at the right time will surface in an app, whether Outlook, Skype, Office, or elsewhere.

A new daily habit:

Intelligent Newsfeed

Today, since information lives in silos, professionals miss relevant news and waste time. In the future, the newsfeed will be the place to go for every professional to stay connected with the happenings in their network, industry and profession. Beyond all this, the feed will be constantly informed and tailored to the happenings at work like the meetings coming up and projects underway.

Selling to Social Selling

Today, a sales person only sees doors to open through the lens of their individual contacts. In the future, professionals will move from selling to social selling. Users of Dynamics CRM and all other CRM systems will want to directly connect with Linked In Sales Navigator. This will transform the sales cycle with actionable insights and the ability for each seller to build deeper relationships with prospects and customers — all to accelerate results.

Organizational insights & transformation

Today, organizations have limited ability to understand their own team’s capability or productivity. In the future, we can give leaders the insight they need to understand their talent (like who they are, where they come from, where they go next) as well as their employees’ effectiveness (like where they spend time and who they collaborate with). This combination will enable organizations to transform.

Just in time social learning

Today, despite the fact that the useful life of skills and knowledge has shrunk to less than five years, only 38% of employees believe they have the opportunities for learning and growth at their workplace. In the future, Linkedln Learning will tightly integrate into Office, enabling users to have a more seamless experience and access to on- demand courses. Recommending the right course at the right time will enable individuals and companies to be more productive and successful — this will transform learning.
