    Are you an aspiring #IBMChampion?

    Nominations will open later this year, but that shouldn't stop you. The IBM Rising Champions Advocacy badge program is an excellent pathway to your future nomination. You can start earning advocacy badges NOW and build a solid advocacy portfolio, which you can use toward becoming an IBM Champion.


    Mission 1

    Are you ready to accept your first mission? Here's an easy way to earn your first IBM Contributor badge (which requires two (2) acts of advocacy).   

    1. Write one or two IBM product reviews on your favourite platform. Choose from Gartner Peer Insights, TrustRadius, or G2, sign in or set up an account to get your reviews in.
    2. AND/OR write one or two ideas on the IBM Ideas portal, by signing in with your IBMID and provide some of your great ideas on IBM technologies.

    ....

    Then... get your application started and begin earning badges!

    Now apply for your IBM Rising Champions CONTRIBUTOR badge by submitting the links to your reviews or ideas in the application! If you are already a program badge-earner, you can take on this mission too! Report your reviews or ideas to earn higher badges in the program. 

    Meantime, watch for more mission assignments you can complete as we work our way towards IBM Champion nomination season!

    I am enjoying LinkedIn more and more. I am pleased that my posts are being read by people who have believed for years that mainframes are obsolete.
