The study of intellectual capital is of the utmost importance for current organizations. Therefore, in the present research work the integral study will be carried out in the academic area of an institution of higher secondary education, in the state of Tabasco, for the development of a measuring instrument. It is proposed to design an instrument, which is considered a hybrid as it is formed by intangible information that is interpreted by the researcher and translated through a Likert scale to a quantitative data that allows to locate the study factor in a clear way to determine its degree of influence in the generation of intellectual capital. In addition, these factors are taken from experts in the study context whose experience allows them to give their opinion. This information is included in a double entry table that allows to find the key factors of incidence in the subject of study. Once the factors have been identified, a development proposal that allows the integral improvement of the institution of higher secondary education in the academic area will be analyzed and made, in order to contribute to Intellectual Capital.
