This study aims to identify and explain the components of the organizational intelligence institutionalization model in Islamic Azad Universities of Tehran Province. This qualitative study employed a systematic grounded theory approach. The research population consisted of experts, management faculty members, and senior university administrators selected through purposive and snowball sampling. Data were collected via semi-structured interviews and analyzed using open, axial, and selective coding to develop the conceptual model of organizational intelligence institutionalization. The results indicate that organizational intelligence institutionalization follows a causal–contextual–intervening–strategic–outcome model in which shared aspirations, free information flow, and knowledge management serve as causal conditions; strategic vision and leadership quality as contextual conditions; organizational structure and digital technology as intervening conditions; strategic alignment and environmental scanning as strategic actions; and decision-making agility, organizational learning, and adaptive responsiveness as key outcomes. The proposed model demonstrates that organizational intelligence institutionalization is a dynamic and systemic process that significantly enhances universities’ adaptability, learning capacity, and strategic effectiveness.
