Abstract
The current research aims to determine the extent of interest by the Iraqi Ministry of Planning and its various departments in strategic intelligence, which reflects on enhancing the presence of strategic performance. Accordingly, the research problem has emerged from the philosophical and intellectual theories related to research variables. To achieve the objectives of this study, two main hypotheses were formulated, and the research adopted an applied methodology targeting senior and middle management within the ministry. A total of 83 questionnaires were distributed to the research sample, with 78 retrieved. The current research concluded that there is an acceptable level of strategic intelligence, with its various dimensions, within the Iraqi Ministry of Planning, indicating the presence of purposeful strategic awareness that can be further developed considering different environmental challenges. Among the most important recommendations was the need for the Iraqi Ministry of Planning to adopt strategic intelligence and its dimensions as one of the key pillars in formulating future policies and objectives, given the results that demonstrated a good relationship and clear positive impact of strategic intelligence on strategic performance. This would enable the ministry to achieve its objectives more effectively and efficiently.
