Public organizations, as managers of public resources, should guide their actions in terms of efficiency, efficacy and effectiveness. Aware of such need, the old philosophies of public management were altered, from the introduction of the concept of New Public Management. With the adoption of this new way of managing the public thing, it was allowed the appropriation of a concept previously used only in the private initiative, known as strategic management. This type of management allows organizations, in a systemic and continuous way, to plan, monitor and evaluate the strategic actions aiming the achievement of its objectives. Due to the importance of the strategic management process related to public organizations, this study will have as main objective the evaluation of the maturity level of the strategic management process in the federal public entities studied in order to subsidize managers with useful informations to improve the process and the decision-making process on a daily basis. For this purpose, the Strategic Management Maturity Model, developed by a well-known american consultancy called Balanced Scorecard Institute, was selected and adapted, enabling the formulation of the research questionnaire, applied in 12 respondents, four by federal public institution. This instrument made possible to analyze and indicate the level of maturity of the eight dimensions present in the model, even without statistical validity, individually and jointly, representing the strategic management process.
