The purpose of this article was to examine the interrelationship between strategic intelligence (SI) and organizational excellence (OE), with the aim of clarifying how these constructs mutually influence and interact with each other. The main themes and perspectives of the literature on strategic intelligence and organizational excellence will be specified in this article's systematic review. Theoretically, this article will be valuable as a systematically and thematic review that focuses on both SI and OE. It provides a synergistic framework of the existing literature by specifically analysing this binomial from a wide and thorough perspective, enabling an inclusive vision and understanding of the phenomena. Additionally, it will assist organizations to enhance their comprehension of the domains and processes inherent to strategic intelligence, which may ultimately facilitate their strategic transformation toward achieving organizational excellence. The format of this article is as follows: it begins with the articulation of the research problem, followed by a discussion of the study’s significance and its overarching aim. This is succeeded by a description of the methodology employed, the development of the theoretical framework—encompassing definitions and dimensions of both strategic intelligence and organizational excellence—and an exploration of the conceptual linkages between SI and OE. Finally, the article concludes with key findings, implications, and recommendations for future scholarly inquiry in this domain.
