Honest reflection happens alone.
Not in a group.
In a group, many people say what they believe others want to hear. Surveys get answered quickly, without much thought. In Topaasia Reflection, everyone pauses for a moment on their own.
15 minutes without group pressure brings out what a survey or a workshop never reaches.
Works for developing the whole organisation as well as for a quick trial with a single team.
TOPAASIA REFLECTION
The best tool in organisation development since the invention of the flip chart.
(well, not quite, but a possible innovation nonetheless)

Between a survey, a test and an assessment
How does the game proceed?
Four phases from a topic to an articulated need.
Topic
The player works on a chosen topic, such as their own wellbeing or change at work.
Analysis
First the negative statements: a risk is selected. Then the positive statements: an opportunity is selected.
Observation
The risk and the opportunity combine into one observation.
Goal
= a possible need
The observation is explored more deeply: problem, opportunity, risk, solution. Finally the player puts the goal into words.
Each phase narrows the topic towards one clear need.
What kind of topic works?
Three things that determine whether a topic works.
Motivation
Not too much, not too little
Topic freshness
Not worn out, not completely unknown
Nature of the experience
A learning experience, not a performance
Organisation development happens on two levels that feed each other
Private practices
How work is done regardless of the shared culture.
Topaasia Reflection focuses on thisShared practices
How work is done regardless of individual tendencies.
Topaasia Reflection is built specifically for developing private practices.
First identify the need, then go deeper
The first game identifies the need. Follow-up games deepen understanding, and the content is always built on the previous data.

Qualitative feedback from the pilot
If you want people to engage with the topic in advance so you can get straight to the heart of the matter, Topaasia Reflection is the best tool I know for it.
Topaasia Reflection's greatest value is that it lets you proactively get to grips with the systemic underlying factors in a change initiative.
With Topaasia Reflection you quickly get a view from a large group, and the results let you take concrete action to improve the things that matter most.
Very handy and effortless to take part in. I warmly recommend it. With Topaasia Reflection, thoughts can be focused on the topic at hand from many angles.
Topaasia Reflection encourages you to write down your own thoughts. It's great that the summary comes with ready-made observations and discussion topics, backed by a surprisingly large amount of qualitative data.

Team lead
You know what is really going on in your team before you walk into the meeting.
Team member
Your answers stay anonymous: the admin sees the observation and the need, not who made it.
Whole organisation
Individual observations turn into considered expressions of needs that are visible to the whole organisation. Repeatedly and lightly.
The same phenomenon, four benefits. Not four different stories.
Pilot price
Scales to the whole organisation when it makes sense.
