What's your ICON?

How do you fit into the innovation process?

Creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship are uniquely human traits. Unfortunately, most people don’t recognize themselves as creative, innovative, or daring enough to start something new. ICONs by Qi is a cutting-edge survey and workbook tool designed to uncover each person‘s specific innovation style and to harness their greatest inspirations in the most productive and effective ways.

This forward-thinking method is inspired by EED (Elemental Experience Design) and is based on a fusion of modern management tools and traditional Asian philosophies. The ICONs by Qi are tailor-made to suit the creative innovator and entrepreneur—those who wish to pinpoint and optimise what really makes them come alive for successful growth in business.


Discover the Innovation Quadrant

Four different ICONs, four different key working styles are identified by the Innovation Quadrant.

Each style is unique and essential for creating growth in the creative business process. By understanding your own ICON and learning to identify the types of those around you, you will be able to establish not only where your energy and efforts would be most valuably placed, but also, what kind of people you will need to look for in creating the most dynamic team.


What do you get?

ICONs by Qi offers you three major insights in your personal e-book:


1. What's my key strength and what to improve?


2. How will I best work with people?


3. What kind of people should I look for to create a winning, effective team?


The ICONs is an intuitive, interactive and highly engaging holistic method which will stimulate personal discovery, unlock creativity, and develop growth. Optimise your energy: Discover your strengths and weaknesses in the creative process.

The Garden Of Qi

A space where Idea Seeds are nurtured and brought to fruition.


The Garden of Qi is an online innovation platform
that fertilizes projects around the theme of human progress in harmony in nature.


We feature global innovators who create a
difference to the world today and tomorrow...


We are growing ideas in different stages. The initial stage is the seed, representing the idea when it is first conceived. Then follows seedlings, bud, and flower stages, when teams come together and proof of concept is established with the help of mentors and investors. Finally, the ideas grow into viable projects when the fruit of collaborative labor has been harvested.


Examples are of growing ideas are:

  • Rainforest Cuisine: How can fine-dining play a part in the preservation of rainforests?
