This paper considers the relationship between structure and process. It approaches this by considering the different ways in which “process” is used, approaching this question through an understanding of language and languaging. What is at issue here is the power to effect change, the way particular processes come to define the nature of an Institution, and the question of that Institution’s relation to desire. The role of leadership becomes crucial to the ways in which desire can be mobilised to motor change, in particular through the effects of ‘vision’ on the current form of the Institution.
