This Communication aims to share a feedback of a professional intervention that takes place in Orange's national project to reorganize its interventional units. This contribution seeks to 1) Show the methodological articulation in the construction of the intervention and its management throughout its progress - This articulation is organized between a project manager, external consultants and a multidisciplinary prevention working group. 2) Carry a reflection on increasing the visibility of working situations in the context of organizational transformation and particularly on the Management committee's evolution (in highlighting key elements that should be vigilantly monitored throughout the process of its implementation).

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the effects of a participative approach on the work of the managers, based on an example of an ergonomic intervention carried out as part of an architectural project to build a new nursing home. Positioned as assistance to the project manager with a presence over 4 years, the complete duration of the project, it allows to carry out a reflexive analysis on the organization of the participation. From individual interviews conducted with managers and agents, but also from working groups, it appears that participation impacts the work of the managers. The managers use then this participation to manage. We support here the point of view that setting up a participative approach is an act of management. It is also an opportunity beyond a help to make decisions, to talk about the work of the managers and to change the managerial practices. In this sense, the ergonomists had an educational role towards the managers through participatory approaches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
