Abstract: In France, the Economic (EI) or Competitive Intelligence (CI) has gradually emerged as an important tool for strategic decision for companies. Developed in an industrial economy, it has progressively integrated the dimensions of services’ economy, and so the digital dimension, that of social networks and the prospect of development of territories (Territorial Intelligence). Through situations and processes of Information and Communication, EI also meets Quality approaches, particularly in a view of innovation, or that of qualitative evaluation as continuous improvement. We propose reflections about this evolution, defining new ways for a revisited “Organizational Intelligence” as Strategic Information for Performance for a Learning Organization, with an important territorial dimension, particularly in Healthcare Issues with the use of ICT tools and the experimental role of interface’s organizations.
