TPB LINKEDIN STRATEGY
The LinkedIn Team / Product Team at LinkedIn
A LinkedIn initiative to add an AI dimension ...
unlocking community knowledge in an all new way.
To my mind. LinkedIn has made a stupid decision

Peter Burgess COMMENTARY
I submitted the message below to the recently introduced LinkedIn PULSE system that was 'marketed' to me recently.
I was surprised and disappointed that the message submission is limited to just 750 characters.
While I support the idea of KISS ... the idea of Keeping It Short and Simple ... I do not support the idea that the complexity of reality has to be dumbed down to the extent that this LinkedIn rule is forcing. Don't waste my time to put material into the platform ... or even to look at it!
I am not a fan of AI which seems to stand for Augmented Ignorance and certainly not much to do with Intelligence!

I went from being a successful CFO in the private sector when I was 40 years old to being an independent consultant . My plan was to serve the corporate sector but a completely different skillset was required which I did not have! I pivoted quite quickly and successfully to doing consulting work for international development and humanitarian relief organizations ... World Bank, the United Nations, etc. where much of my experience could by used usefully.
Quite quickly my acceptance as an independent consultant in this environment went downhill. There is a difference between managing for real success and creating the appearance of success by hiding incompetence and failure. Calling this out is rarely successful in big bureaucracies.
