What it is
One of the first things we do before meeting a new Stakeholder is look them up on LinkedIn.
StratNavApp.com provides a convenient way of navigating from the Stakeholder record to their LinkedIn profile page.
The LinkedIn bookmarklet allows you to navigate in the opposite direction: from LinkedIn to their stakeholder page.
It also allows you to pull their profile image and LinkedIn id back into their Stakeholder record.
How to use it
- From any LinkedIn profile page, click on the StratNavApp.com LinkedIn Bookmarklet.
- This will open up a new page showing possible matching Stakeholders in StratNavApp.com.
From there you can:- Navigate to an existing matching Stakeholder record.
- Merge the LinkedIn image and ID into an existing Stakeholder record before navigating to it.
- Create a new Stakeholder record, in any project, adding the name, profile picture and ID from LinkedIn, before navigating to it.
How to install it
- Desktop/laptop: Drag this link >> StratNavApp.com LinkedIn << to your bookmarks bar.

javascript:personName=document.querySelector("h1.text-heading-xlarge").innerText;imageElement=document.querySelector("img.pv-top-card-profile-picture__image--show");imageElement==null&&(imageElement=document.querySelector("img.evi-image"));imgSrc=imageElement?imageElement.getAttribute("src"):"";encodedName=encodeURIComponent(personName);encodedImgSrc=encodeURIComponent(imgSrc);encodedUrl=encodeURIComponent(window.location.href);finalUrl="https://www.stratnavapp.com/reference/LinkedIn?name="+encodedName+"&face="+encodedImgSrc+"&url="+encodedUrl;console.log("Navigating to",finalUrl);window.open(finalUrl,"_blank");
