In this paper we analyse some logical notions relevant for representing the dynamics of instutionalized organisations. In particular some well-known action concepts introduced in the Kanger-Lindahl-Pörn logical theory of agency are discussed and integrated. Secondly moving from the work of Jones and Sergot a logical characterisation is provided of the ideas of institutional links, "counts-as" connection, and institutional facts. This approach is then enriched by a new model operator proc, intended to account for the autonomous and decentralized creation of new institutional facts and normative positions within institutions.
