Summary/Abstract: To be able to study intelligence organizations, one must first understand themanner in which organizations have evolved in the last decades in parallel with the“revolutions” taking place in economy, technology and society. We can, therefore, noticea shift from the paradigm of the organization as a “machine”, whose functioning can beunderstood through a detailed analysis of its inner mechanisms to the paradigm of theorganization as an “intelligence organism”, whose functioning surpasses from acomplexity point of view everything we have previously imaged, limiting the knowledgewe may gather on it. Therefore, this article argues for exploring ways in whichintelligence organizations can stimulate and harness better their potential forimprovisation, creativity and imagination
