Embracing Ambiguity: Why CQ Skills Are Essential for Solving Wicked Problems
Today’s most pressing challenges aren’t linear or binary—they’re riddled with ambiguity, paradox, and competing demands that defy algorithmic solutions. To navigate these wicked problems, we need Creative Quotient (CQ) skills—fluency, flexibility, originality, elaboration—paired with the tools of design thinking, enabling both creative and critical thinking to unlock innovative, context-sensitive solutions. This interactive keynote/workshop equips participants with the 7 key Creative Intelligence (CQ) skills—using neuroscience, design thinking, and real-time collaboration tools—to unlock creative leadership, solve complex challenges, and gain a competitive business advantage.
Through practical exercises, real-world case studies, and interactive resources, you’ll learn how to lead with agility, foster collaboration, and make confident decisions in complex environments.
Join a global community of forward-thinking leaders and transform how you approach strategy, innovation, and team performance.
Who is this TTT course for and What tools are used?
CSI-CQ ELEMENTS is an online Train-the-Trainer (TTT) course designed for independent leaders, facilitators, and changemakers seeking to build their team’s creative capacity and lead with strategic clarity. Ideal for those navigating complexity and paradox, it equips leaders to activate Creative Quotient (CQ) and guide teams through wicked problems using structured dialogue and collaborative thinking.
At the heart of the course is the Collaborator Canvas—a visual framework that translates CQ theory into action. Leaders use it to map paradoxes, surface creative blockers, and facilitate high-impact problem solving. The course provides essential tools, mindset shifts, and facilitation techniques to lead with creativity and purpose.
This elementary version is self-led and tailored for use with small internal teams. It offers a streamlined experience and select tools for non-commercial application. It does not include the full Tirian workshop package—such as slide decks, structured activities, or Train-the-Trainer accreditation—which are available through a separate licensing agreement for professional delivery.
There are several delivery options to choose from:
This session comes with the ‘collaborator canvas’ a worksheet / flipchart and/or a digital Miro-board. The session can be self-lead by an independent leader. This can also be complemented with more content from a professional facilitator and other online resources.

ANSWER: Independent Self-Led Leaders Agreement: please note that the Collaborator Canvases are picked from Tirian's full program suite and are specially selected modules. Their purpose / use is for dialogue with small teams. This type of licensing model is not suitable, nor permitted to be used for training, teaching, running workshops, or commercial licensing beyond one-on-one and selected small groups. (anything beyond this would require the leaders to apply for full licensing partnership.) Tirian can remove / block any Padlet / Miroboard URL at their discretion.
ANSWER: If you want to purchase more than one canvas /board or repeat for future sessions, contact us (TIRIAN) [email protected] and we can arrange codes and an invoice. Noting the above info > that this canvas board is for team coaching only. Anything larger should fall under the engagement of a complete workshop or full licencing partnership agreement.
ANSWER: Independent Self-Led Leaders & Coaches- It’s recommended to repurchase a new board each time, for new teams, especially if the team wants to keep their current canvas live, (allowing them to revisit and update it). However at a squeeze, it can be reused by the same purchaser, noting the canvas would need to be reset (scrubbed) by the purchaser. Fully licensed partners - get unlimited access to the canvases and the equivalent physical table versions, if it forms part of their contract in the context of a full workshop & TTT contract. The canvas will stay live and active for 6 months. It can then be PDFed or subscribed to (re bought) for a longer life span.
