Hmmm.  My takeaway on intention involves being bent on, strenuously occupied or resolved to do something (based on a goal).  Intent seems actively inclined to act whereas willingness seems passive.   
 
How about:  

"Intent is an inclination by a member of a social structure to perform actions that achieve a stated goal.”
