Abstract

In the context of technological, cultural,social and political changes, we are experiencinga new paradigm of an interconnectedworld, globalised and with new challenges to befaced. Traditional theories and methods of interventionand change appear to be not relevant inthis context anymore. Specifically, in the organizationalfield, struggles for a change is happening. It seems to be urgent to reframe the role of thecompanies, of the leaders, the role of bureaucraticprocesses as well as the role of value proposition.The present article brings the understanding oflanguage as a social construction, as a possiblemean of change in the organisational logic. In thisscenario, the poetic language is presented as aresource to construct and to reframe meaning,promoting the possibility of reinventing organizations.
