(Disclaimer: I work at Notion) > Also, it's kinda absurd to me that notion feels the need to have both a certification program as well as a list of "certified consultants" who are "productivity experts and solutions architects". David Graeber would probably feel vindicated/depressed. Surprisingly, this is largely due to market demand! A lot of customers ask us to help tailor workflow solutions to their needs, especially if their team is growing quickly. We don’t have bandwidth internally keep up with that for our small/medium business customers. So, those customers go looking for consultants, contractors, or eventually to hire for full-time Notion knowledge management positions. These programs help our customers find quality talent and build a trustworthy base we can refer people to. Equally important is the demand for more education, certification, and collaboration from those very experts/consultants. These people are building their livelihoods on their Notion expertise. Certification helps differentiate and validate them.
