Abstract: This chapter aims at a better understanding of the impacts training for innovative design could have on organizational creativity. It clarifies the usefulness of innovative design theories in creative contexts, and constructs an analytical framework relating three dimensions of training for innovative design and organizational creativity: concept-relevant skills, collective creativity-relevant processes, and innovation-intrinsic motivation. It bears on a longitudinal study conducted in the framework of a large organization that implements training for innovative design: Hydro-Québec research center. Our results show that transformation by the training allows participants to develop new capacities for innovative design reasoning and increase the potential of collaborative creativity within the firm.
