Strategy does not happen on slides.
It happens in conversations.

Topaasia turns your strategy into conversation cards. Every team has a one-hour gamified conversation about what the strategy means in their own work, and every session ends with concrete actions.

Sound familiar?

Strategy rarely fails because of its content. It fails because of commitment.

  1. 1.

    People do not commit to a strategy they do not understand or feel is their own.

  2. 2.

    A sense of ownership only comes from conversation, and everyday work offers neither the time nor the structure for it.

  3. 3.

    Without conversation, no one knows what the strategy means in their own work, so nothing changes.

Topaasia gives the strategy conversation structure and time: 30 to 60 minutes per team, without an external facilitator.

Traditional strategy communication

  • Slow: the strategy trickles from the top down, one slide at a time.
  • Ineffective: information gets lost in PowerPoints and notes.
  • One-way: leadership communicates, personnel listen.
  • Most of the personnel do not understand the strategy or feel it is their own.
  • No data on how the strategy is actually understood.

Topaasia

  • Fast: a strategy conversation up and running in an hour, with the whole team involved.
  • Effective: every session is saved automatically.
  • Participatory: every team member is heard.
  • Understanding of the strategy grows and commitment increases.
  • Unique data on personnel views to support leadership decision-making.

The solution

Your strategy, as playing cards

Your strategy is distilled into conversation cards. The game hands out turns, keeps the conversation on topic and ends every session with an action plan. The game leader is your own manager, not a consultant.

The full lifecycle

For every phase of strategy work

The same tool serves the whole lifecycle of the strategy: from formation to implementation and living it in everyday work.

1

Strategy formation

Involve personnel already in the building phase. Topaasia gathers the voices of the organisation into the strategy, so people feel it is their own from the start.

Vincit

Strategy alive in everyday work

A repeatable game brings teams back to the strategy regularly and ensures the strategy is not forgotten after the launch.

Hoivatie
“I think of Topaasia as an aid for conversation that structures and focuses it. It defines what is discussed, but not the content of the conversation.”

Mikko Oranen, Development Director, Hoivatie

A one-hour game leader training is enough. After that, every manager runs a participatory strategy conversation themselves.

Every voice heard
