Objective: To establish the key competencies that should be developed in employees with innovative profiles in order to contribute to organizational innovation. Methodology: A qualitative study was conducted with an intentional convenience sample of 17 innovative organizations in Colombia and multinationals, oriented toward research and experimental development and classified according to DANE. Semi-structured interviews were administered to workers linked to R&D&I processes. The information was analyzed through discourse analysis supported by ATLAS.ti software. Results: Key competencies associated with organizational innovation were identified, including creativity, critical thinking, initiative, teamwork, networking, resilience, and foresight. Discussion: These competencies strengthen human capital in a dynamic and relational manner, according to organizational and market demands. Conclusion: The identified competencies constitute fundamental conditions for driving organizational innovation; therefore, their development must be integrated into training processes and human talent management in order to foster the innovative capacity of organizations.
