InControl refers to the ability to manage, regulate, or direct situations, processes, or events towards a desired goal or outcome. This concept applies both on a personal level and within organizations. Being InControl signifies a certain degree of mastery, awareness, and responsibility over the circumstances or activities to which it applies.
In other words, being InControl means having a firm grasp on what you are responsible for, ensuring that you are not caught off guard within established norms. Essentially, it means having your affairs under control. The extent to which you are InControl can predict the success of your management approach and the resulting performance.
Organizations face internal and external uncertainties that can jeopardize the achievement of their objectives. An organization is considered InControl when it recognizes these uncertainties and takes measures to ensure that its performance remains predictable. For your organization, being InControl primarily means being in command of the goals you have set.
Through the design of processes and responsibilities, you determine how goal-oriented your organization operates. ICR assists you in maintaining an overview and insight, enhancing your ability to be InControl. Successfully executing the process from ambition to result also means being InControl.
In other words, steering to be InControl provides organizations with the ability to have visible (and therefore demonstrable) control over their processes, activities, and performance. This enables organizations to respond quickly to changes, manage risks, and seize opportunities. Consequently, this leads to improved efficiency, higher quality of products and services, and ultimately a competitive advantage in the market.
