Twenty Recommended LinkedIn Groups for Professionals

In order to identify the most valuable top 20 groups on LinkedIn for business, we had to identify the areas of interest to businesses in this new social environment.

Numbers don’t matter as much as quality, though they help! The measurements used to rank these groups are:

Quality of content
Size of the Group
User Engagement
Value added Features

Categories included in our list are:

Social Media
LinkedIn

PR & Communications
Leadership
Innovation
Sales
Marketing
Networking
Executive Issues
HR
General Business

Of course there are many other areas of interest to entrepreneurs, business owners and corporate representatives. These are the best groups for business, however the field is always changing, so we may come back and update this list occasionally as new players enter the field with great value! We would love your feedback and comments.
