How does a 3000 seat organization use @NotionHQ successfully?
They don't do it alone.
Had a great time talking to Mike Beall whose love for Notion is contagious! Mike gets a VIP front row seat to Notion working at a company with thousands of users in one Notion workspace. Notion State has worked with Mike and team for a long time now to get this right and in this weeks episode of Notion State of mind, we talk about it!

"Done! All tests pass, and the branch is pushed and merged into main. That was a substantial change, but everything’s working."
Should you just recreate your old system in @NotionHQ?
...maybe?
Change management is tricky, messy, and inefficient. But it's the job. It's not about the software or the system or the structure - it's about the people. People are the most important part of Notion State consulting because it's people we build tools to support - not the other way around.
Bringing someone into Notion is a success and sometimes that initially looks like not recreating the wheel for them and upending their entire workflow. It might look like recreating it in Notion and then working from there to help them discover what's possible. It's all about helping people work better.
A perfect unused tool is perfectly useless.

my personal recommendation when people ask me where to put their AI context: docs, skills, memories, etc.
This one's for the @NotionHQ nerds! And the most fun episode we've recorded!
I guarantee you'll love it.
We BLIND ranked 5 random Notion features and along the way got into the history of feature releases (looking at you tabs block 👀) as well as what we love and what more we want to see out of them.
And Nosey apparently isn't called Nosey anymore?! Notion is this true?
see what they are and how we ranked them in the full video at: youtube.com/watch?v=N9S_k1xz…
Simplicity on the far side of complexity - did I get burned out on Notion State or did I actually reach Jedi master status?
I LOVE building complex stuff in @NotionHQ and it's what made me good at the tool. I did so much unproductive tinkering that it became the most productive thing I did! It's why I have a career in the Notion ecosystem!
But to actually use Notion to support your life's work - let me propose to you that nothing beats simple. Simple means the gravity of your focus is on the work the system supports, not whether the system is working correctly or optimized perfectly. The perfect data model is a striving after the wind!

Is @NotionHQ still a note-taking app?
We talk about Notion's growth from "just a note-taking app" to the powerhouse for business it is today.
But did Notion sell it's soul? 👀 I think Notion continues to care deeply about individuals because individuals are the heart of a company - they're the end-user and more important than ever in a business setting.
"The individual in a company is what a block is to Notion."
