  abstract: The purpose of this study was to identify innovative training systems emerging in business and industry. Innovative training systems were identified in five different organizations. This study utilized a qualitative, exploratory methodology, and was conducted in two phases. Phase One used responses from a questionnaire to identify organizations pursuing innovative training. Phase Two included interviews and observational findings of five diverse organizations conducting innovative training. Among the findings of this study were that innovative training systems are essential to an organization remaining competitive in a changing environment. The results of this study also found that training's major focus in innovative organizations is to facilitate "major organizational change". Another crucial finding was that the learners as well as trainers must participate in the needs assessment and development phases of innovative training. Other important findings are the use of a team approach to organizational training; integration of a systems approach; risk-taking as an on-going part of the training system; and transference of the training to the workplace. The audience for this study includes organizational leaders, trainers, and other practitioners in the field of adult education.
