Integração de práticas de gestão do conhecimento e gestão por competências no contexto da força de submarinos e do PROSUB

Abstract

This dissertation analyzes the integration between Knowledge Management (KM) and Competency-Based Management (CBM) within the Submarine Force (ForS) of the Brazilian Navy, in the context of the Submarine Development Program (PROSUB). The main objective is to understand how these approaches contribute to the preservation, transfer, and strengthening of the technical-operational knowledge required for the operation of Riachuelo-class submarines and the preparation for the future Brazilian Nuclear-Powered Submarine (SN-BR). The study is based on the Knowledge Management Model for Brazilian Public Administration (Batista), the SECI model of organizational knowledge creation (Nonaka and Takeuchi), and Chiavenato’s CBM approach. The research adopts a qualitative methodology, with an exploratory and descriptive nature, grounded in documentary and normative analysis. Findings indicate that, despite advances in mapping critical competencies, continuous training, and formalizing KM processes, challenges remain regarding the systematization, retention, and sharing of knowledge. It is concluded that the effective integration of KM and CBM enhances ForS’s operational autonomy, strengthens technological sovereignty, and ensures the availability of qualified crews for both current and future PROSUB naval assets, showing significant adherence between the theoretical framework studied and the practice observed.
