Abstract: Enterprises and organizations' crises is a recurrent thematic in management science research. From the practitioners' point of view, a new questioning is put into the light: is it possible to carrying out changes within organizations in a shorter time laps? This question refers to the nature of the change. Is it a response to the cyclic resurgence symptom which is the crisis itself? Or is it possible to get deep and sustainable results more quickly? Our scientific observations demonstrate that the change time is both resource time and calendar time. The time resource necessary for change is low regarding to the companies actors' issues. The calendar time, calibrated on 12 months period seems to be, particularly in negotiation phase, long but appears short during the implementation phase. This paper put into perspective a reflexion about the time in the change process and aims to reveal the researcher' role as a realistic catalyze in the time-space steering process of change.
