Sumario:Innovation is a need for any organisation that wants to maintain and to improve its current market position, characterised by globalisation and uncertainty. Innovation processes involve creativity, development, change and to take risks, all of which depend on the skills of the people within the organisation. It is therefore interesting to study the role played by human resource development (HRD) in the innovation process, to identify ways to enhance innovation in our organisations through training. "Training for innovation" means training that aims to generate innovations in the organisation, i.e., that develops skills that allow the trainees to innovate in their work. This chapter presents some of the results of a research in Spain, focused on the evaluation of effectiveness of training for innovation.
