Who: Chew Lip Heng, Director at atomz i! pte. ltd. and carbon interactive pte. ltd.
Where: Singapore
Used LinkedIn to: Establish several groups, as convenient platforms for like-minded individuals to connect and network over shared interests which may not have other platforms for discussion  
How: Chew created LinkedIn Groups to help connect interested members with diverse backgrounds. Some of these groups, like “Singapore Red Cross” stemmed from offline activities and helped volunteers stay connected with each other even when not involved in ongoing activities; while others like “High Reliability Organising” started as online platforms which then led to offline meetings and opportunities.
