O presente artigo aborda a experiência de um estudo de caso que buscou no pensamento da Comunicação Pública (CP) propor uma política de comunicação para uma Instituição Federal de Ensino Superior (IFES), que desde sua fundação, 1910, não possui um documento oficial de comunicação para relacionamento com públicos estratégicos. Logo, com base na técnica de pesquisa auditoria de comunicação organizacional, uma abordagem de caráter qualitativo esquadrinhou as ambivalências internas e externas da comunicação organizacional e levantou o conjunto de recursos humanos, produtos e tecnologias que compõem o sistema de comunicação da IFES. Os resultados mostram as particularidades destes elementos e exemplifica de que maneira a Comunicação Pública pode ser adota como recurso estratégico em IFES, e por conseguinte, na Administração Pública brasileira.  The present article approaches the experience of a case study that sought in the thought of the Public Communication (CP) to propose a communication policy for a Federal Institution of Higher Education (IFES), that since its foundation, 1910, does not have an official document of communication with strategic audiences. Therefore, based on the research technique of organizational communication auditing, a qualitative approach scrutinized the internal and external ambivalences of organizational communication and raised the set of human resources, products and technologies that make up the IFES communication system. The results show the particularities of these elements and exemplifies how Public Communication can be adopted as a strategic resource in IFES, and therefore, in the Brazilian Public Administration.

Potential Benefits

Project risk is the object of interest of people and institutions implementing and financing project activities. Each project brings new challenges and risks but also a chance to gain knowledge and development. That is why project management is becoming a standard that receives more and more attention. At the stage of launching a project, it is necessary to conduct risk analysis, which allows risks identification, characterisation and proper assessment. This analysis enables the development of a risk prevention plan, indicating ways to respond to challenging situations when they occur. It also allows the introduction of risk monitoring methods. The specified stages of risk management are well known in public administration, especially to those institutions that raise funds for implementing projects and then manage them. In public administration, institutions implementing projects are obliged to carry out management control, and some responsibilities related to risk management have been imposed on applicants. Therefore, it becomes necessary for project managers and unit managers to understand its (risk) importance for achieving the objectives of the organisation’s projects and the potential benefits that can be obtained after its effective implementation. Organisations that can take into account risk management awareness in projects will be able to use the risk management process to improve the results and increase the satisfaction of all parties interested in the implementation of projects. This article aims to present the identification and risk assessment in projects and challenges faced by the public administration, including the security system, which has been dynamically acquiring funds for implementing projects in recent years.

Traditional Approaches

E-governance is a paradigm shift over the traditional approaches in Public Administration which means rendering of government services and information to the public by using electronic means. In the past decades, service quality and responsiveness of the government towards the citizens were least important but with the approach of E-Government the government activities are now well dealt. This paper withdraws experiences from various studies from different countries and projects facing similar challenges which need to be consigned for the successful implementation of e-governance projects. Developing countries like India face poverty and illiteracy as a major obstacle in any form of development which makes it difficult for its government to provide e-services to its people conveniently and fast. It also suggests few suggestions to cope up with the challenges faced while implementing e-projects in India.
