Governança colaborativa e gestão do capital Intelectual na diretoria de obras civis da marinha : um estudo sobre a capacitação em Engenharia Civil Portuária.

Abstract

How can we reduce the training gaps among civil engineers at the Navy's Civil Works Directorate (DOCM) in the field of port, maritime and river infrastructure? This is the guiding question of this dissertation, whose research focuses on the articulation between Collaborative Governance and Intellectual Capital Management as strategies for strengthening the DOCM's technical capabilities. The study's main objective is to propose a training program that aligns the technical staff's competencies with the Directorate's institutional responsibilities. This is justified by the DOCM's strategic relevance as a Specialized Directorate responsible for port projects and construction in the Brazilian Navy, an activity that directly impacts the Navy's security and technological autonomy, given the increasingly complex coastal infrastructure and the scarcity of specialized training in the public sector. The research adopts a comparative method, in three phases: (i) a comparative analysis of national and international Civil Engineering curricula with a coastal-port emphasis; (ii) a diagnostic survey with the DOCM's Technical Staff; and (iii) the development of proposals to increase training. The results confirm a significant mismatch between the DOCM's institutional responsibilities and the technical expertise of its technical staff: less than 10% of respondents consider themselves capable of developing port projects. To address these gaps, a Training Program is proposed, coordinated by a Port Engineering Training Council, structured around four pillars: a modular in- company course, supervised practical projects, systematic participation in technical and scientific events, and the development of a professional master's program in partnership with institutions of excellence. The combination of collaborative networks,systematic knowledge management, and continuous assessment creates a virtuous cycle that strengthens the Navy's technological autonomy, increases efficiency in the execution of strategic projects, and enhances operational safety
