Abstract
ABSTRACT Practitioners and academics recognize the importance of innovative intelligence organisations. However, we know little about how intelligence organisations innovate and what challenges they are being confronted with. Drawing upon intelligence studies as well as innovation and organisational studies this paper forwards a conceptual framework to answer the question: how do intelligence organisations innovate? To address this, we introduce the concept of innovation capability, an organisation’s potential to innovate. The paper identifies seven attributes of innovation capability and explores these attributes within intelligence organisations. The attributes are: (1) vision and strategy, (2) competence base, (3) organisational intelligence, (4) creativity and idea management, (5) organisational structure, (6) culture and climate and (7) management of technology. The paper concludes with an agenda for further research.
