A design game for private reflectionSoft launch

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 Topiikka, 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.

Game logic

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.

Suitable topic

What kind of topic works?

Three things that determine whether a topic works.

Motivation

Not too much, not too little

Suitable motivation

No motivationVery high motivation

Topic freshness

Not worn out, not completely unknown

Suitable topic

Unknown topicDiscussed to death

Nature of the experience

A learning experience, not a performance

Learning experience

Entertaining performanceLearning experience

Private and shared practices

Organisation development happens on two levels that feed each other

Private practices

How work is done regardless of the shared culture.

Topiikka focuses on this

Shared practices

How work is done regardless of individual tendencies.

Topiikka is built specifically for developing private practices.

Tailored content

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.

One benefit, four levels

The same honest reflection shows up as a different benefit on every level

C-level

You see the organisation’s risks and opportunities before they show up in the numbers.

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.
