Feedback Focus Quest
Our Feedback Focus Quest will improve both your individual and organizational performance by showing you how to give and receive feedback more effectively.
How the Quest Works
The Feedback Focus Quest is a chat-based, coaching-like experience that drives meaningful conversations, powerful ideas, and "a-ha!" moments around innovation. This approach enables the rapid, lasting adoption of feedback oriented behaviors in your organization. We do this by:
Activity
Completions indicate that users have awareness and understanding of a topic.
Follow-Through
Positive activation checks show that users have followed through and taken specific actions.
Reflection
Insights demonstrate that users have reflected on their experiences in a way that reinforces the desired mindsets.
Social Engagement
'Likes' and comments tell us that a user's insights are positively impacting others in the group and are initiating social learning.
The Challenges
Effective feedback improves performance, productivity, and employee satisfaction. Nearly 60% of respondents in a PwC survey stated they would like feedback on a daily or weekly basis, and 92% agreed that negative feedback, if delivered appropriately, is effective at improving performance. Our Feedback Focus Quest activates employees to give and receive feedback more effectively, to both colleagues and managers.
The 20 challenges encourage participants to practice concrete behaviors that lead to career progression and improved individual and organizational performance. Participants learn what makes feedback so effective and what feedback model to apply. They also learn how to share constructive feedback, reflect on feedback, and show appreciation through feedback.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes. Our quests drive the adoption of new behaviors and habits, and the best way to do this is by giving people the opportunity to practice and repeat.
We do this in the form of a 20-day Quest. Each day, for the duration of the Quest, a participant accepts a bite-sized challenge. The challenge will introduce an offline activity to complete between online sessions. Once complete, a user will then come back and reflect on the experience of trying new behaviors. Reflecting on our experiences drives behavior change in a short time.
-
Designated administrators will have access to the "Manage" section of Cognician, which is our reporting dashboard.
The "Manage" section gives administrators a collection of helpful information about participants and their activities on the platform. For example, every time someone uses a cog (short for "coaching guide", which is what we call a learning module at Cognician), the system logs their actions so that administrators can view the learner’s journey, how many cogs have been completed, and where the team seems to be struggling.
Administrators can monitor general participant progress and export CSV documents that contain cog completion data and even the insights shared by the users.
