The practice of intervention in the workplace, in many disciplinary fields, often comes up against the problem of sustaining what has been built. This article deals with the end of an intervention in the clinic of activity in a medico-social establishment, which took place over several years. The system, co-constructed with the professionals, is centred on new possibilities for dialogue between the hierarchical levels, based on the function of the “job referent”. It focuses on analysing the forces present in the intervention situation, which contribute to maintaining the vitality of dialogical processes capable of resolving everyday problems. It shows that empowerment in the organisation cannot be definitively instituted, but that it can be sustainably supported by intervention frameworks that experiment with a certain dialogical performance between front-line agents, management and administration, while seeking to institute it.
