In this article, we describe our efforts to design a creativity training program specifically for innovation practitioners. Our aim was to develop a program that would be both theoretically sound (i.e., based on a rigorous scientific foundation) and relevant for practitioners (i.e., applicable to real-world contexts). Our transdisciplinary study employed co-creation as a method to ensure that three layers of focus would be taken into consideration: metacognitive knowledge, metacognitive monitoring, and metacognitive control. The result is a program called Creative Awareness Training, which is based on the new Know{\textendash}Recognize{\textendash}React model.}, keywords = {co-creation, cognitive creativity, creative awareness, creative process, creativity, creativity training, front-end innovation, innovation process, metacognition, transdisciplinary}, issn = {1927-0321}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/1080}, url = {http://timreview.ca/article/1080}, author = {Dagny Valgeirsdottir and Balder Onarheim} }
