The desire to obtain value and justify investments from the different Information Systems in place in organizations has been around for a long time. Organizations constantly theorize and implement different approaches that provide some sort of alignment between their different business objectives and Information Systems. Unfortunately, the environments in which these organizations operate are often dynamic, constantly changing with influence from external and internal factors that require continual realignment of the Information Systems with business objectives to provide value. When businesses evolve, leading to changes in business requirements, it is hard to know what direct Information System changes are needed to respond to the new requirements. Similarly, when there are changes in the Information System, it is not often easy to discern which business objectives are directly affected. Whilst the different Enterprise Architecture frameworks available today provide and propose some form of alignment, in their implementation, they do not show links between business objectives and Information Systems, i.e., indicating what Information System is directly responsible for different business objectives thereby allowing for anticipation and support of changes as the business evolves. This thesis utilizes insights from Business Intelligence and uses the User Requirements Notation (URN), which enables modeling of business processes and goals, to provide a framework that exploits links between business objectives and Information Systems. This Business Intelligence - Enabled Adaptive Enterprise Architecture framework allows for anticipating and supporting proactively the adaptation of Enterprise Architecture as and when the business evolves. The thesis also identifies and models levels within the enterprise where responses to change as the business evolves are needed and the ways the changes are presented. The tool-supported framework is evaluated against the different levels and types of changes on a realistic Enterprise Architecture at a Government of Canada department, with encouraging results.

Le point de départ de ce travail est l’importance de l’Interprétation Consécutive (IC), en particulier de l’Interprétation Consécutive Monologique (ICM) dans le milieu universitaire, où elle est requise et a son espace préservé et valorisé. En considérant que cette modalité d’interprétation apporte des défis pour son exécution, même aux interprètes les plus expérimentés, il faut établir la juste dimension et la valorisation des ressources qui sont utiles aux sous-compétences traductives qui font partie du rôle de l’interprète. La Prise de Notes (PN) est une des ressources qui aident l’utilisation de la mémoire dans cette modalité d’interprétation. Ainsi, ce travail se propose d’investiguer la PN, une fois qu’il comprend qu’il s’agit d’une étape décisive pour la réussite de l’interprétation. Pour cela, cette recherche se penche sur les études d’auteurs importants de ce domaine, dans le but de connaître la méthodologie de la PN qu’ils proposent et mieux comprendre la spécificité et la place de la PN dans l’IC. Pour atteindre ce propos, ce travail présente une révision théorique sur la PN, en proposant un répertoire sur elle et revise les Compétences en Traduction recommendées par Hurtado Albir en comparant ses résultats avec la pratique des interprètes. La prétention du rapprochement entre théorie et pratique est d’attribuer la juste importance à la PN et d’aider à équiper l’interprète pour qu’il ait de meilleurs résultats dans son rôle. L’analyse réalisée souligne l’importance d’une préparation de l’interprète pour le travail en IC, qui se sert de la PN comme une aide à la mémoire, en qualifiant encore plus le rôle du professionnel. / O ponto de partida deste trabalho é a relevância da Interpretação Consecutiva (IC), em particular da Interpretação Consecutiva Monológica (ICM) no meio universitário, onde ela é requisitada e tem seu espaço preservado e valorizado. Considerando que essa modalidade de interpretação traz desafios para a sua execução, mesmo para os intérpretes mais experientes, faz-se necessário o correto dimensionamento e a valorização de recursos que auxiliam as subcompetências tradutórias envolvidas na atuação do intérprete. A Tomada de Notas (TN) é um dos recursos que auxilia o uso da memória nessa modalidade de interpretação. Assim, este trabalho propõe-se a investigar a TN, por entender que se trata de uma etapa decisiva para o êxito da interpretação. Para isso, esta pesquisa se debruça sobre os estudos de importantes autores da área, com o propósito de conhecer a metodologia de TN que propõem e compreender melhor a especificidade e o lugar da TN na IC. Para alcançar esse propósito, este trabalho apresenta uma revisão teórica sobre a TN, propondo um repertório sobre ela, e revisa as Competências Tradutórias preconizadas por Hurtado Albir, confrontando seus resultados com a prática de intérpretes. A pretensão dessa aproximação entre teoria e prática é atribuir a devida importância à TN e auxiliar a instrumentalizar o intérprete para que este alcance melhores resultados na sua atuação. A análise realizada aponta para a importância de uma preparação do intérprete para a atuação em IC, que se sirva da TN como um auxílio à memória, qualificando ainda mais a atuação do profissional.

This diploma thesis focuses on processes in project management based on international standard IPMA Comptence Baseline (ICB). Its main goal is to create process models of chosen technical competences of the ICB. The models were built in a program called Bizagi Modeler in accordance with an international standard Business Process Model and Notation. Results of this thesis are represented by the process models for each of the chosen technical competences and by an overall model that put all the created competences together. It helps to show connections between the competences as well as to understand the application of competences within the project cycle. Crucial steps of chosen competences are also applied to a model project for better understanding of a real application. Created process models may serve as a user guide for project managers who manage projects according to the ICB.
