Priorização de projetos de PD&I visando à construção de um portfólio competitivo utilizando o Processo de Análise Hieráquica

Resumo (EN)

The trajectory of a company towards technological innovation goes through several steps, including the management of its project portfolio. This portfolio should be aligned to the strategic objectives of that company with the purpose to clearly identify the demand and how to do to accomplish it. This work shows a case study conducted in a research, development and innovation company in two distinct phases related to portfolio management. In the first, a retrospective analysis of the company's project database is performed by retrieving information regarding the scientific production in the past. In the second, a prospective analysis is conducted to understand which resources should be prioritized by using pre-established criteria in the Analytic Hierarchy Process. For such an analysis, it is used criteria that take into account other factors, which are not purely technical. The prioritized projects should ensure the competitive advantage of the organization. The hypothesis of the research is that it is possible to propose a competitive portfolio of new research projects, from the analysis of pre-established criteria, using the methodology of the Analytic Hierarchy Process, which prioritizes technological innovation and forms of technology transfer. One of the main results refers to the importance to know and retrieve company historical research, considering the gaps to be worked in the future. To accomplish that, one can use a tool for management of foresight portfolio, such as the analytic hierarchy process, to assist in the identification and prioritization criteria for project portfolio management.
