Abstract—Nowadays all sorts of organizations face several major of different magnitudes, velocities and temporalities. These changes occur primarily as breaks, more or less strong, of a questioning, of action modes and of an unsatisfactory thinking. Secondly they might also occur due to the development skills leading the organization to a situation perceived as even more satisfactory. Recognizing the inevitable processes of change existing within organizations, we could use a series of necessary questions in order to clarify the phenomenon of change: Why do organizations need to change?; What are the reasons for the changes?; What are the needed changes? (This issue allows not only the delimitation of the contour dissatisfaction points but also the directions you wish to redress the organization to.) How does the change take place? (This question is included in a certain space placed between the discontent and the situation under review, space that can be called "the change process", a type of "black box" in which a series of transformations happen.)
