Pioneered by MRS and supported in 2019/20 by Savanta, this initiative positions Intelligence CapitalTM as a critical business investment, alongside financial and human capital.

Intelligence Capital is, in essence, the information, evidence and insight an organisation collectively accesses, circulates and acts upon. Initial work in 2018 brought the concept of Intelligence Capital to life by demonstrating its value: how progress can be powered by through the effective development and activation of an evidence-based approach.

We all need intelligence to make better decisions. We believe that intelligence is an asset that should be used in every decision that a business makes, and we want to empower non-researchers to use it more.
