The State of Global AI Transformation
What 6,000+ global professionals reveal about where AI transformation is really happening and what it takes to get there.
Every organization is under pressure to move faster with AI. But where does yours actually stand? Notion surveyed more than 6,000 AI Decision Makers and everyday AI Users globally to cut through the noise and map the real state of AI transformation—from early experimentation to AI-native operations. The findings may surprise you: 88% of organizations are still in the early stages. Leaders are twice as confident as the workers using AI day-to-day. And the gap between investing in AI and being ready to deploy it well it is widening, not narrowing, as companies advance. This report gives you the data, the framework, and the playbook to understand where your organization is and what it takes to move forward.
What you’ll learn
- Where most organizations actually are in their AI transformation journey—and why “early” is the baseline, not the exception
- Why leaders and workers describe two different transformations—and why that gap is an execution risk
- The three implementation strategies that separate the most advanced organizations from everyone else: integration, governance, and measurement
- How the value of AI shifts as organizations mature—from speed to entirely new capabilities
- The questions every leader should bring back to their team
