The strategic change of the organization fails because it is difficult for the personnel to commit to its implementation.

2.The strategy is not perceived as one’s own, because the personnel does not have time to discuss sufficiently, in which case the prioritization of the changes and tasks required by the strategy fails.

3.Sufficient discussion, dialogue, enables an understanding of why, what and how to work differently from the perspective of the staff and teams.

Questions and answers

Questions and answers

Not all our employees have a personal computer. Can they still attend Topaasia sessions?2023-05-22T06:51:56+00:00

All you need to participate in a Topaasia game session is a smartphone and an online connection. The game is web-based, so participants do not need to install an app on their phone. Participants can also join the session from their computer or tablet.

What does running Topaasia sessions require from a game leader?2023-05-22T06:49:40+00:00

A basic understanding of how a Topaasia session works and a few practice sessions. A basic understanding is provided in the game leader training (1-2h).

Topaasia trains game facilitators in the world of gamified online facilitation in a one-hour training session. The facilitator does not need to have a background in facilitation, the tool will help.

How will the audio and video be shared in a Topaasia session?2023-05-22T06:49:11+00:00

You can share audio and video using the video conferencing tool of your choice (e.g. Teams, Meets, Zoom)

Yes. The Topaasia service has been information security audited by a third party and found to be secure and compliant with good practices.

Does this kind of “gamified dialogue” really work? Is this some kind of hippie thing?2023-05-22T06:42:26+00:00

Yes, it works. A gamified dialogue is about setting a context and a way of facilitating the discussion, keeping the discussion on topic, making all participants seen and heard, using cards to help participants articulate their thoughts and decide on concrete, everyday development actions.

Topaasia does not work if you are allergic to the idea that people can talk to each other and thus agree on the development measures in everyday life, instead of them always being imposed from the top down.

How soon can we get started?2023-05-22T06:41:36+00:00
Will the strategy deck we have created remain for our own use?2023-05-22T06:41:22+00:00

If you continue with a Topaasia annual licence, you can continue to use the game content made for you. If you do not continue to use Topaasia, the content will be removed from the service.

What does it mean to create our “own strategy game”?2023-05-19T12:13:07+00:00

Topaasia is a gamified way of engaging people in a dialogue, always with a certain game deck to provide context for discussion.
Topaasia has +40 different decks made in collaboration with professionals (for themes such as winning strategy, systems intelligence, work community and many more)

You can also create your own decks and in the strategy work we will help you tailor your own deck based on your strategy and the strategy material. A dedicated strategy game deck helps to focus the discussion to the topics you want employees to cover.
