Business Digitization: Centralized Systems for the Post Hyperactive-Hive-Mind Workplace
While building centralized digital systems for businesses of small and medium dimensions, I have been observing, "gathering data", and trying to understand what is essential in the inevitable process of business digitization. I collaborate with businesses and individuals to build centralized digital systems for their core operations using Notion and complementary tools. With this post, I intend to reflect on and point out some major patterns I have been observing while doing my "job." But this does not mean that I am posing myself as an expert on the subject. Quite the opposite. Writing begets thinking and a clear definition of one's experience. This post aims at that: sharing my thoughts and observations. Not teaching something out of my leather armchair with my fingers clasped together in front of my face. I consider myself a beginner. And I probably am one, considering my relatively short-lived experience as a Notion consultant (about one year). Nonetheless, I hope this post will be thought-provoking and interesting to some; a "story" of sorts where the narrator is myself, sat behind a laptop screen in an Italian tiny village. This story is of anecdotal evidence, and it starts with a primer. A primer about building digital systems and what that entails for me as a Notion consultant.
