Planejamento estratégico no judiciário: uma proposta para a Coordenadoria Geral de Precatórios do Tribunal de Justiça de Pernambuco

Abstract

Strategic planning has become an essential governance tool in the public sector, fundamental for aligning resources, processes, and people with institutional and societal demands. In the Judiciary, this practice has been driven by the National Council of Justice (CNJ), especially after Resolution No. 325/2020, which established national strategic planning cycles. However, there is a significant gap in both literature and practice regarding the application of this tool in the management of judicial precatórios—a complex, legally and financially sensitive sector characterized by high social demand and significant resource volumes. This study, conducted within the context of the Pernambuco Court of Justice (TJPE), aims to develop a strategic planning for the General Coordination of Precatórios (CGP), the unit responsible for the final stage of enforcing court decisions that involve payments by the Public Treasury. Using a qualitative methodology, grounded in action research, the investigation encompassed document analysis, participant observation, and situational diagnosis, resulting in the development of a strategic plan aligned with the CNJ’s guidelines and the specific institutional context of the CGP. As a result, the study proposes a model that not only meets the specific demands of the unit but also has potential replicability in other judicial units, especially those dealing with precatórios a field in which only 3 out of 27 Brazilian Courts of Justice currently have published strategic plans. Thus, the research contributes to bridging theoretical and practical gaps, fostering greater efficiency, transparency, and legal certainty in precatórios management, while strengthening the public value generated by the Judiciary.
