Esse trabalho aborda a Administração Legal como uma ferramenta capaz de orientar e conduzir as organizações prestadoras de serviços jurídicos rumo à inovação e à competitividade, em conjunto com a aplicação da metodologia Business Process Management (BPM) como opção alternativa na busca pela vantagem competitiva sustentável. Alinhando essas duas abordagens, a Administração Legal e o BPM, o objetivo deste trabalho é identificar os principais processos de negócio que compõem a estrutura de um escritório de advocacia. Uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativo-exploratória e quantitativo-descritiva foi realizada, sendo as estratégias metodológicas desenvolvidas em três fases. A primeira fase de coleta de dados envolve a identificação dos critérios e fundamentos terminológicos do contexto analisado, por meio da aplicação de três entrevistas individuais semi-estruturadas. Após a identificação do mapa das dimensões terminológicas, parte-se para a segunda fase da coleta de dados, a aplicação de um questionário estruturado, o qual foi aplicado nos escritórios certificados com a norma ISO 9001 no Brasil. Por meio da estatística descritiva foram identificados os principais processos de negócio que compõem a estrutura dos escritórios de advocacia, bem como seus processos de apoio. Os processos foram agrupados em quatro categorias para os processos principais e em seis categorias para os processos de apoio. / Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-06-02T19:56:42Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Manuela Rosing Agostini.pdf: 3064051 bytes, checksum: c1693d2047e5f6fca0b89ab26fe379cd (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2014-06-02T19:56:42Z (GMT).

Based on the application of both approaches together, i.e. Legal Administration and BPM, the aim of this research is to identify main business processes that make up the structure of a law firm. A qualitative-exploratory and quantitative-descriptive nature research was realized based on three main phases. The first phase involves identifying criteria and terminological basis within the context analyzed based on the application of three individual semi-structured interviews. After the identification of the terminology dimensions map, the second phase was the application of a structured questionnaire, which was applied on nine Law Firms, certified on ISO 9001, in Brazil. Based on descriptive statistics the main business processes that define the organizational structure of law firms, as well as their supporting processes were identified. The main business process were grouped in four categories and the support business processes were grouped in six categories.

As empresas têm direcionado seus esforços para a gestão dos processos ao perceberem os benefícios que podem obter: otimização do trabalho, aumento da satisfação dos clientes e redução de custos são alguns dos ganhos percebidos. Também são atraídas pela visão abrangente proporcionada pela ótica dos processos, que permite a gestão eficaz de seu trabalho, o que as tornam mais competitivas. Porém, ao implantar a Gestão de Processos de Negócio (Business Process Management - BPM), os gestores não encontram uma base conceitual unificada que os orientem nesse sentido. O objetivo do presente trabalho é propor um Modelo de Avaliação de Maturidade em Gestão por Processos e um Modelo de Estruturação de Serviços de um Escritório de Processos. O modelo de avaliação de maturidade foi construído com foco nas práticas de governança em Gestão por Processos, tendo como base o referencial teórico. Esse foi ajustado através do diagnóstico de seis organizações que possuem implantados Escritórios de Processos. Já o modelo de estruturação de serviços foi desenvolvido a partir do referencial teórico e do estudo dos Escritórios de Processos das organizações que participaram de entrevistas, sendo ajustado através da sua aplicação nessas organizações. O Modelo de Avaliação de Maturidade em Gestão por Processos desenvolvido permite às organizações realizar um diagnóstico quanto à implantação da Gestão por Processos, para então, com o Modelo de Estruturação de Serviços de um Escritório de Processos identificar o portfólio de serviços que deve adotar para auxiliar sua evolução. Portanto, o presente trabalho contribui para a implantação da Gestão por Processos nas Organizações ao oferecer modelos de referência que permitam acompanhar sua evolução e planejar a estruturação dos serviços a serem prestados. / Companies have been driving their efforts to process management after realizing its benefits: work content optimization, customer satisfaction increase and cost reduction among others. They are also attracted by the broad overview provided by process perspective, which allows an efficient management of their work, and increase their competitiveness. However, when implementing Business Process Management - BPM, leaders do not find a unique concept that guide them in this direction. The goal of this work is to propose a Maturity Evaluation Model in Business Process Management and a Service Structure Build Model for a BPM Office (BPMO). The maturity evaluation model was built with focus on governance practices in Process Management based on theoretical framework. This was then validated through a diagnosis of six different organizations with implemented BPMO. The Service Structure Build Model was developed based on theoretical framework as well and appraisal of the same six organizations with implemented BPMO, being validated through its applications. The developed Maturity Evaluation Model in Process Management allows the organization to diagnose the implementation of the Process Management. This, together with the Service Structure Build Model for a BPM Office, help the organization to identify the service portfolio that must be adopted to support its evolution. Therefore, the current work contributes to the implementation of Business Process Management in Organizations by offering reference models to accompany its evolution and to plan to build the services to be offered.

Dentre as fases do ciclo de vida do Gerenciamento de Processos de Negócios (BPM - Business Process Management), a fase de diagnóstico de processos pode facilitar a mudança de modo a fundamentar futuros esforços de aumento de produtividade, padronização da execução do trabalho e criação de uma rotina de trabalho mais eficiente. Como técnica de diagnóstico, a ARA (Árvore da Realidade Atual) é mais ampla pois demonstra a visão geral da situação da empresa. A pergunta de pesquisa que se pretende responder com este trabalho é: como o diagnóstico da Árvore da Realidade Atual pode promover melhorias em uma Unidade de Pesquisa Clínica (UPC)? O objetivo é analisar o relacionamento entre a aplicação do diagnóstico da ARA e as melhorias realizadas em uma UPC. Para tanto, foi utilizado como método um estudo de caso em uma UPC que utilizou ARA como técnica de diagnóstico precursora da implementação de melhorias organizacionais. Nos resultados deste estudo é apresentado o diagnóstico da ARA em uma UPC e são descritas as melhorias que ocorreram na organização a partir da aplicação desta técnica. Além disso, são identificados quais fatores de sucesso do BPM contribuíram para a aplicação da ARA. Conclui-se que a utilização da ARA como técnica de diagnóstico, além de fornecer uma análise que contempla as necessidades reais da organização, pode ser relacionada com o sucesso da implementação de melhorias. Este estudo deve fornecer subsídios aos gestores de UPCs em relação à efetividade das práticas administrativas passíveis a serem adotadas, além de ser importante para pesquisadores que atuam com diagnóstico de processos e BPM ao apresentar a efetividade da utilização da ARA como técnica e relacionar as melhorias obtidas com os fatores críticos de BPM. / Among the phases of the Business Process Management (BPM) lifecycle, the process diagnostics phase can facilitate the change in order to support future efforts to increase productivity, standardize the execution of work and create a more efficient work routine. As a diagnostic technique, CRT (Current Reality Tree) is broader because it demonstrates the overall picture of the company\'s situation. The research question that intends to answer with this work is: how the diagnosis of the Current Reality Tree can promote improvements in a Clinical Research Unit (CRU)? The objective is to analyze the relationship between the application of CTR diagnosis and the improvements performed in a UPC. For that, a case study was used as a method in a UPC that used CRT as diagnostic tool for the implementation of organizational improvements. The results of this study present the diagnosis of CRT in a CRU and describe the improvements that occurred in the organization from the application of this technique. In addition, it is identified which BPM success factors contributed to the application of ARA. It is concluded that the use of ARA as a diagnostic technique, besides providing an analysis that considers the real needs of the organization, can be related to the success of the implementation of improvements. This study should provide support to UPC managers concerning to the effectiveness of the administrative practices that may be adopted, and it is important for researchers working with process and BPM diagnoses to introduce the effectiveness of the use of ARA as a technique and to relate the improvements obtained with the critical BPM factors.

Flowly is a tool for iBPMS packages, as are these intelligent suites for process management nicknamed by Gartner. These are technologies that make it possible to create and execute processes. Development of processes for these platforms goes through standard IT delivery cycle even for trivial and routine processes. Goal of this thesis is to create a tool for creating runnable business processes based on IBM Business Process Manager platform. The tool will allow creation of executable processes without programming or deep technical knowledge. Processes are created using a wizard like configurator in which processes can be drawn, users have ability to add data to the process, notifications, define SLAs and use other features. Tool created within this thesis is a workflow tool, which is a subset of iBPMS suites. The goal of this thesis is achieved by defining general functionalities of workflow tools which lay down basis of functionalities Flowly should contain. Following chapters describe in detail the creation of the tool, from initial analysis and design to technical details of implementation and user documentation. Benefits of the tool lie in simplicity of creating processes in iBPMS suites, increased agility of the company, when the creation and deployment of new process is shifted into the order of days and in massive reduction of cost of routine processes and agendas due to reduced IT involvement.
