Abstract
The purpose of this article is to expose the articulation that should exist between the CEO's competences of projects and TI's business processes with an effective management for the execution, follow up, control and closing of projects, making emphasis in the planning and management areas which are the ones that relieve the complexity as an intangible reality within the unstable environment of changes and competition in which companies or organizations move. An analysis of technological surveillance was done which explains the traceability and importance of the areas and their relationship with the timely and accurate decision making, as long as processes are taken into account such as strategic management, risk management, adequate administration of resources and time, as well as soft elements associated to leadership and emotional intelligence that the TI projects and processes' CEO should have. Under these circumstances, competences of CEOs are raised and how they manage the dynamic organizational scenarios.
TopBackground
The literature review to make the technological surveillance exercise, associated to the study topic of this research, was based on the Cetisme’s Project proposal (2002) adapted by Moreno (2003), consisting of six phases synthesized on Table 1 which describes that, on Phase 4, it was necessary to structure two search equations, one for each area of management and another one for the planning area. These equations are shown on Tables 2 and 3, which at the same time, present the filtering process generated for a further analysis of trends on resulting products.

Methodological structure of a technological surveillance exercise
| Phases | Description |
| Phase 1: Definition of objectives | Identification of search trends in the planning and projects managing field |
| Phase 2: Identification of information needs. | Scientific articles published in indexed magazines in recognized databases. |
| Phase 3: Identification of information sources | Selection of the Web database of Science as source of information. |
| Phase 4: Search of information | Definition of search equations, with key words associated to each area. |
| Phase 5: Analysis and validation of information. | Processing of information using software and Voswiever |
| Phase 6: Preparation of report | Summary of results for consolidation of final document. |
