Hey there,

This Week's Deep Dive​

I love LinkedIn.

Come to think of it, you probably wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for LinkedIn (or my cheat cheets).

But what are the dangers of LinkedIn and is there a dark side that could destroy our Profession. What caution should we apply to everything we read on there?

Instead of avoiding it totally, I advocate for Critical Thinking and challenge everyone who consumes content on there to be cautious.

In this week’s deep dive I take an introspective look at myself and tell you why LinkedIn could yet destroy our wonderful profession

  • What are the potential dangers of LinkedIn?

  • How should we be approaching it?

  • What negative impacts could it have on us and our profession?

And yes, I even come clean with my own regret around the Procurement Dinosaurs analogy I was so pivotal in promoting back in 2022.
