Abstract

Strategic intelligence (SI) has transcended its military origins to become a key tool in various fields such as business, education, and organizational management, adapting to the demands of a globalized world. Its interdisciplinary approach integrates data, narratives, reasoning, and advanced technologies, enabling the resolution of complex problems and optimizing decision-making. Fields such as knowledge management, cybersecurity, and social sciences stand out in its application, fostering innovation and organizational sustainability by anticipating risks and future trends. SI combines creativity, analysis, and foresight, reducing uncertainties and strengthening business and research strategies. Furthermore, it promotes interdisciplinary collaboration, generating new ideas and solutions through knowledge exchange and collaborative methods. This multifaceted approach drives continuous improvement across various contexts, from organizational to security domains, solidifying its role as an essential tool in a dynamic and competitive environment.
