This article relates to the manner of posing a strategic diagnosis in a situation of uncertainty as a step of construction of direction much more than like a simple method of observation of reality and deduction of the most projecting features. The diagnosis is presented there like an ambivalent concept directed towards the construction of a representation by and within an organization. The step of construction of direction makes it possible to regard the diagnosis in turn as anchored in the construction of identity, like a process of retrospective rebuilding, a process of enactment, having a social and organisational dimension, a process " in progress ", selective and using the reference frame of plausible rather than that of exactitude.
