Please add an organization's icon/logo next to the workspace name in the top menu.
With several organizations, and many workspaces having the same name, it's impossible to remember which workspace you're in at a given moment.
If you step away from your computer for a few minutes and return, you have to click on the workspace name in the top menu just so the left-menu will fly in so you can see which space you're in.
With the organization's logo next to the workspace name, one would only need to glance up to know where they are.
Even better would be to be able to assign each organization an accent color so that the overall workspace would be quickly identifiable as belonging to a particular organization. Even if it was just a colored line under the top menu, a user would always know at a glance which organization they are working in.
Having multiple organizations and constantly having to click to view the left menu just to see where I'm located has quickly grown tiresome.
Thanks for listening.

I couldn't agree more. Podio is heroically difficult to navigate or use effectively. The lack of a human-centred interface is a deal breaker for us.
There are an number of online apps/services like Podio that seem to be at a similar stage in their design maturity. Basically, the sector as a whole seems to be where Ford was at the beginning of the car industry — the customer gets as much as the developer deems they need or deserve. Customer desires are alternately portrayed as 'unnecessary' or 'mistaken' — subsumed to the pursuit of the developer's 'higher goal' of achieving some software engineering ideal.
Maybe in four or five years things will have changed. One can dream. Unfortunately, as things stand I'm going to have to delete my account.
Good luck with the development. A.
